    Default Results of Thread Ban Poll



    Preliminary Numbers:

    Keep: 16
    Abandon: 10

    Actual Numbers:

    • Howey accidently voted neutral and wished to be moved to Keeping it
    • Shy Guy voted to keep, but he doesn't count as his account was signed up in January and I said accounts less than 2 months old would not count
    • Guest doesn't count
    Thus: 16 - 9

    Liberal/Conservative Break down:

    To keep: 10 liberals, 6 conservatives

    To Abandon: 5 liberals, 4 conservatives

    Of those that felt strongly on the issue, one way or the other (i.e. we just aren't even paying attention to wishy-washy neutrals):

    66% of liberals like it
    60% of conservatives like it

    ---

    Overall, it's clear that the favoring and opposing of this feature don't really break down on political lines. Ratio wise both sides are essentially the same.

    Given that most of that this wasn't a partisan result and that the majority of the community likes the feature, we will be keeping it.

    If at some point in the future people change their mind and we want to come back and re-evaluate this, we can. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    Please continue to use it responsibly and to silence trolls or people that are just trying to just fuck up your threads. I know most of you are doing that, but just reminding people to keep using it maturely.

    Thanks all!

    Neutral people count most as we can be swayed. Do not piss us off. Hail Satan!
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    You see no value in banning this;

    Rune has none.

    You have none.

    So clearly you are both spouting liberal lies.

    the people have spoken.

    I will not ban anyone from any thread that I make.

    so it will remain that the only person I ever banned from a thread was evince.
