LIW- Suggestion

No thats the problem. The member is still VERY there.

If you ignore all posts from a specific member... then that member posts and you have 100 people responding... all you get are the responses... you have no idea what all the 'commotion' is.

Like I said... its flawed. It would be good for stuff like FMs... to block people for harassment.

But to set an ignore on a member's posts... like Don said admit it or not... its those members that generate the most 'entertainment value' and are worth the read whether you agree or not.

New game of tag...I think I will use the prase Tag, you're it now...when I am done with it.
Does that make sense?
I don't know.



Damn you DJ and all your fine and rationale points.

They already have a 'blocked' button for members whose FMs you'd like blocked

i see what you are saying - it would just be better if the member got banned after getting so many kill tags, you know.

Yes people should get banned if they get out of control. But you will never see a system where you can be 'voted off the island' so to speak by users.

Ive been on both sides of it... ive caused trouble on sites ... and I have been a site admin having to control the 'troublemakers'.

It all comes down to... as much as somebody can cause trouble... its usually not worth the headache of a ban because banning is just too easy to get around. Plus the wanna-be banned users... even though mass people don't agree with them and want them banned... the site owners WANT people like that around to stir up the shyt and keep a particular site interesting. Thats what a lot of people don't realize it.

I admin another site and I have about four or five real 'a$$hole' users. But every time we talk about banning... we just don't do it. It generates entertainment for us in the end.

Plus... I could easily circumvent a LIW ban if I wanted to, as well as any other website out there. I have also gotten on other 'private' websites in the past. It really isn't that difficlt if you know what u are doing.

Its just not worth the trouble for a web admin. Trust me. Granted some webadmins have quick fuses. But in reality, you have to really do a LOT to earn getting banned from a website.

oh, i'm sure its takes much more then just a name calling or two. its seems like its more trouble then its worth.

and the banned members usually do come back and start problems for a day and then they are gone again.

I have a better idea - just get a long like mature adults!
