I don’t completely agree. While I think Flamebait is distinct enough to warrant a specific ban from it versus a general global ban from the other features, your logic isn’t a good one. Even if there are terrible posters in RP, if they’re not breaking the rules it’s bad form to simply ban them for being intolerable. Stifling expression in that way could also serve as a deterrent for creativity because people don’t know where the boundaries of acceptable content are anymore. The rules become meaningless, then.
If there are bad posters, it’s up to the community to deal with them, not the mods. Ignore their posts, minimize them (not sure if that works here), ban seeing all posts from that poster (don’t know if this works either) or something along those lines to prevent them from getting attention. That’s really the only way to solve the problem without impacting creativity. mterek edited this message on 07/14/2009 11:36PM |
