You're done in this thread

Post by Fash »

This is my suggestion for a thread level banning system.

Thread Locking is an acceptable practice, right?... I'm using this to rationalize that when genuine conversation is going on and one or more people are being douchebags, that they could be banned from a single thread so that thread can recover and continue sans douchery.

Is that against the 'spirit of VV' ?

Probably... just got a little frustrated today (yet didn't shit on the thread because of it)

Horrible idea. Banning people is not the solution. All a person has to do is show a little respect, and stop saying stupid shit.

Respect the opinion of others and it doesn't matter. No matter how stupid you think a person's comments are, they are that person's opinion. You have no idea what has gone into forming that opinion through a lifetime of experiences, and silencing a person just for those views is idiotic. You might as well go to an environment where everyone thinks like you do, and that will probably never be here.

That's kind of what I'm getting at, in not so many words. People are going to say stupid shit, even me from time to time. If you feel what a person has said is stupid, don't just call them a retard. That makes you just as stupid, figuratively speaking.

If what I have just said is stupid, please forgive me.
