Mods and Admins should get the power to Ban or Force Ignore members from posting in a particular thread.

The mods and admins never abuse their power, so in the cases where a member is doing nothing but negative things in a thread....they can just be removed without having to shut the whole thread down.

Ex: In GDF when Napalm starts spreading his disgusting hate filled messages in an otherwise salvageable thread....then just restrict him from posting in that particular thread.

That kind of control does seem like a bit much, but as I stated before, the mods and admins on this site don't abuse their power.

As in a certain period where the 'vendetta' between you and lil bitchiness spoiled several threads in the GDf?

But that is just tons of extra complications, no? Like Napalam for example, I gave him a 3 day bn because he didnt acknowledge the warnings, which possibly had better effect than just banning him from one thread....no?

spoiled is a harsh word....

I like to think of it as "spicing things up a bit" 😉

True, but that took a ban.

How many times has WindDancer, Storm, or Fire gone in a thread and had to throw around a "everyone calm down" or "everyone get back on the subject" only to be completely ignored as the fight continues. Then the thread gets closed....and noneone gets a 3 day ban.

it was wrong of me to single out Napalm, a lot of people (myself included) are guilty of this at one point or another.

Yeah, we might disagree immencly in one thread, but then outside it we're absolutely cool - theres noone i can do that with Link...noone.

Sure, we're all guilty of it - if you feel strongly about something, you argue for it - the problem is that here are just words - you cant see the tone of voice and such...and there are reasons why some threads are not allowed at all.

Anyway, see what Raz says i guess.

and THAT's why i love you to death Milla. You, quite regularly, hand me my own ass in a discussion, and watching you get all worked up over my inconsistant arguement's i s like droolio x100000.

I'd leave KMC if I thought you truly hated me.

The "force ignore thread" ability isn't something I would highly support, and on any other site, i wouldn't support it at all. I guess I just made the suggestion because I have a lot of confidence in the mods/admins to be just and fair when it comes to using such a power.

Cheers everyone...Link's going to lunch. 😉

🤨

do we have to make 'a bring ignore option back' petition or something?
and i know Raz is gone 🙁

Oh.. I was just gonna ask why. But an experiment, hm? I don't like being the guinea pig. Or do I? 😑

😐
