Ban hammur or karma sistem?

[Centurion]

I personally vote for karma system. Let's make it like that
if someone goes over some certain karma limit then they will be banned. You decide the limit!

[jrgp]

I don't think karma should be used as anything other than a vanity statistic, since the results are unpredictable and susceptible to ballot stuffing etc. It should definitely not be used for something as serious as bans.

Also, I'd rather you kept the title and options of polls in this board serious, as opposed to broken leetspeak.

[Espadon]

Democracy is stupid when constituents are stupid.

[DarkCrusade]

I voted for the almighty ban hammer that already glows in some moderators hands, because as Espadon alreadz stated democracy fails completly when touching the internet.

[Espadon]

I don't think the forum is resilient enough right now to handle a good banhammering either. It'll be like trying to drain the blood of someone with anemia here.

[[SIRS]Foxconn^^2012]

Banhammer.

lolz. sarru


Actually it wasn't leetspeak at all. Leetspeak should've been something like that: b4N H@MM3R 0R k4rM4 5Y$T3m?

Anyway. I agree with karma system leading to bans seems too rough punishment.

I guess other option is just to let the banhammer strike.
But accordingly to Espadon - I have no idea what should be done.

[Espadon]

I mean even though I think Foxconn and Shard are kinda gay, it's only because they're young. I think I might miss em if they got hammered away.

baww you just reminded me how much I miss the days when flamingo was still here. Back then pzcw was trollin jrgp in the lounge every other week and t was a moderator, and people were making fun of dascoo's hair or something and flamingo was trolling away with his 4chanisms. And we'd have threads like the hot chick thread and stuff.

It's so boring now all we get are moralfags like MattH lool

[Furai]

How about warning system? Moderators will give warnings to trolls - if they reach 100% they'll be banned out of forums.

[DarkCrusade]

It's already like that. Were you never warned?

[Espadon]

-----------------------------------------------
Muting I think is better than bannage, anyways.

[Furai]

Nope, I wasn't. Is it bad?

[Espadon]

It doesn't really do anything until you get muted tbh. I sort of liked the old title system where offenders were tattooed with a warning for all to see lol

Maybe we should make it that people that become too annoying get their profiles abused by the mods ololololo

I got the impression that this was already what we do.

[-Skykanden-]

Karma will not come back, that has been discussed a milion times!

There should be more people banned those days, too many trolls and stupid people.
I also agree with Espadon's comment about democracy

BTW: Centurion, weren't you the one who dreamt to be soldier? Then it's hillarous the way you post your comments E.g. LULZ11 I R 1337. Now really not funny

[Centurion]

No. It wasn't me. I do not post for postcount. I post whenever I feel like, if the thread I'm posting in seems interesting or I have some knowledge about the topic.
And I never wrote in leetspeak. Maybe sometimes but not often.

About that warning system: That will work but the warning point amount should be increased and there are too few rules. I mean, you should be "awarded" with warning points even if you flame or post stupid replies to topics. The current warning thing seems kinda soft for me. Even though I have received around 110 warning points so far, it almost even got me banned.

[jrgp]

And I never wrote in leetspeak. Maybe sometimes but not often.

Okay, I didn't strictly mean leetspeak as in where you substitute numbers/symbols for the letters. I guess a more appropriate term would be "garbage speak":

- ban hammur every1 lolololz
- noen of em abov, sumtin elsse
- karma system, smiet every1 lulz

[demoniac93]

Yeah, power corrupts fast.
Freedom is power, democracy is freedom, so...(You may take this whatever way you want)
I say ban hammer.
But make it an epic one, like a few months ago when Demonic went ape s**t after a beer too many.
Sorry, Esp.

[Espadon]

Yeah, power corrupts fast.

I'm interested in what you want to say here. Keep going.

[jrgp]

I don't think either of these sentences apply to online communities.
