Bump!
I am NEUTRAL on this issue. I truly do not care one way or the other.
KEEP threadbans.
ABOLISH threadbans
Bump!

That’s never bothered me. I know who the trolls are. I just scroll past them.
I think the threadban works if you’re the type who gets sidetracked by trolls or those who want to vent bile.
Another consideration of mine is that I can imagine missing out on Epic posts and threads by using the feature. I probably would have missed most of Dixie’s greatest posts. Desh has had some most awesome ones I would have missed too...and who didn’t want to ban you when Pete Carroll was at USC...and then i would have missed your humanizing descent into purgatory.
The only one I’ve ever considered thread banning is Super Freak cause the little cock sucker talks to me just like my father used too...but like my father I learned to ignore his caustic tongue.
So i voted don’t care. I don’t need it but I can see where others like it.

I voted neutral, too. I can see both sides of the argument for a thread ban feature.

Neutral for me too. I'm fine with it either way.
Time to shut down the poll. No way the No’s can catch up
It's not weak to want to deny a certain few idiots like Truth Deflector, CFM and a couple of others, the chance to fuck up every thread you start just because they're childish, immature assholes and have nothing worthwhile to contribute.
But if you have some desperate, pathological inner need to feel superior to other people, then you just go right ahead.
I won't judge.
C'MON MAN!!!!

We all come to this board for different reasons. I enjoy hearing differing perspectives and ideas and seeing that I live in a very large bubble I appreciate hearing opinions from those in the other parts of the country.
Now granted I'm a slow learner but around the 500th time Desh called me evil and a racist I was starting to catch on to what she thought of me. Of course we have the ignore button but it just fvcks up threads. Same with folks like CFM who no matter what the topic just can't help themselves from dropping n*bombs. I spend way too much time on this board as it is but that doesn't make it enjoyable for me.
But to each his own on how they feel about it.

Nope, any cursory perusal of my threads indicates that a substantial number of rightwingers who can act reasonably civilized and practice a modicum of social ettiquette freely participate in my threads. I do not ban teabaggers for disagreeing. I ban them for being racists, bigots, belligerent trolls, blatant liars and libelers, misogynists, and sociopaths.
I am not obligated to provide safe harbor to sociopaths and racists and allow these subhumans to participate in civilized conversation.

I have to laugh at anyone this full of themselves. Are you really going to feel like a champion, because of a backwater forum, of maybe 50 people wasting time online? As far as achievements go, I think that's on the level of being one of the kids, that can make armpit farting noises. Bragging about anything on that level makes a person look silly. Not banning people is fine for politics, but it never works in other categories. Of course even in politics, I've come across a few people that turn it personal, and about you instead.

i voted nuetral though since i dont really care and wont use thread bans but im ok feeling superior to other people who need that security.

A large portion of his list don't even post here anymore due to perma-ban. Most of the others are trolls, or just petty conversationalists. You for instance only occasionally use language in debate, and even then you're normally just mouthing off, and wasting time. I save that for trolls, and bs libelers.Quote Originally Posted by Truth Detector View Post
