Suggestion: allow thread bans AFTER a thread discussion starts

Maybe not in the software program, but it would be nice to have if it's possible.

There are a couple of posters here who simply derail threads with their posting. Once that starts, it would be a good function to be able to thread ban them retroactively.

Yes. You have to notify a moderator and they have to do it. It may take 24 hours so it is not always effective.

Disagree.

Anticipating the likely offenders is a skill that subscribers should make the effort to cultivate.

The thread author either wants a wide open discussion or not.

When I start a thread, I'm mostly into delivering my monologue,
so I thread ban people merely on the anticipation that they won't applaud it.

In that the internet is more for venting than discussion, I highly recommend this practice.

Trolls vent. Many of us come here to discuss politics.
 
^^^^^^^
Here's a perfect example of someone on both my "thread ban" and "ignore" lists.

British Petroleum and I have no interest in sharing discourse with one another.

Your words: "When I start a thread, I'm mostly into delivering my monologue," And, "the internet is more for venting than discussion".
 
If BartenderElite does not mind, here is a model for how to make an argument.

First, state your position on an issue.
Second, give a reason or two for why it is true.

If you do not agree, say, here is why I disagree with your position.

As Heraclitus said, listen not to me but the reason (logic).

or you could say the things you usually say.....
"shut up troll"
"go away and die"
"shut up or I am going to ban you"
 
Thread bans are a tool for the weak.

Yet your MISTRESSSSSS loves them, and apparently so do you. At least your eyes are finally opening to the truth of your weakling bully grrrl. At the top of your favorite thread:

The ability to thread ban should be a moderator function only
