That won't stop us getting complaints about him, or people wanting action taking for him spamming.
And all the ignore post button does is stop you from seeing what's written. It doesn't remove the post from the thread. |
If they don't see his posts, then they have no thing to complain about.
|
Can you imagine that though? A newbie signs up.. says "What's with this guy CoryAllen?". A mod says, "Just put him on ignore". It's way too weird.
|
I'm sure the newbs will figure out the ignore button soon enough.
|
It took us this long.

The major complaint about him is that he fills the forum with loads & loads of small posts. With the ignore posts activated these posts don't go away, so the problem in effect is still there. |
I see.
Sorry Cory, I tried. |
Forgive me if I step on any toes, since I don't feel I've been here long enough/contributed enough to really have any say in the matter, but wouldn't deleting all his posts cause more confusion/work?
More to the point, if someone had quoted him at some point, the quote would need to be removed to, since it would be referring to a now non-existant post. |

What if a sub forum was created where members like corryallen would be sent for rehabilitation and be restricted to making threads and posts in that forum only.
Regular members would be able to post reply as usual. Once he learns how to behave in that sub forum, then and only then, would he be allowed back into the community. Any decent threads made during his time in the 'rehab' sub-forum will be moved to the correct places in the regular forums on his release. A bit like a mental hospital, or a prison for rehabilitating problem members. Obviously, corryallen wouldn't be the only inmate. I can think of a few others that would need to join him in there. The mods wouldn't have to run around cleaning up after him because it would be contained all in one place. His progress would be in his own hands. He's already admitted he like's the place and needs time to settle in. Surely that's better than banning him? |
I'm not sure if that was all ironic (or sarcastic, whatever) but I actually like that idea.
|
I'm deadly serious.

There would maybe concern that some members would post in the 'Rehab' forum simply to take the piss.
This wouldn't be tolerated and anyone attempting to do so would run the risk of joining them. That's not to say the whole concept shouldn't be treated lightly without a sense of humour. We're not out to humiliate anyone. |
I'm all for this. Great idea.

it's a bit weird how much you guys care about this kid. I've never seen him as an annoyance, but i usually don't even notice posts either. either ban him or close this thread, my god this is stupid.
|
If cory went in voluntarily, it wouldn't be a problem.
As for some of the others...well if they don't like it, they can always fuck off. What it will prove once and for all, are the real intentions of some of our borderline resident trolls. |

Delete his posts but don't ban him.
Let him start anew. |

Just a reminder before we get all official and democratic about who's up for punishments and whatnot - when someone gets moderated, whatever they got moderated for is most likely deleted by the mod doing the moderatin'. That means that if a member ever does anything banworthy, most other members probably aren't going to know exactly what it is they did. In theory, a member you think has an immaculate post history could have 100 deleted posts where he was a douche. Of course, that's an exaggerated example, but it's likely that the average member won't know about every negative thing other members do.
|
Leave the guy alone man, he aint half as bad as your all making out. If you truly wanted him banned then it would have been done a long time ago, but actually you find it more entertaining to keep him on the thread and debate about whether he should go or not.

An MB rehabilitation forum sounds kind of redundant. It also seems as though it would undermine the tools moderators are given to make informed decisions relating to the well being of the website.
The rules of the website are clearly laid out in every forum here, and I don't see why there's debate for compromises to what the moderators have, themselves, laid down as law. If someone breaks the rules consistently and everyone is seeing drawn out debates regarding what to do about it, we're naturally not going to take definitive authority around here very seriously. MB justice should be equally distributed based on the rules, not personal opinions of the perpetrators. |

Then quit feeding the fire by inadvertently coming to his defense.
So people feel like this issue has hit a head I think this thread has really convinced me we need a more swift and harsh approach to handling the less requisite contributors of Music Banter. |
