(January 12, 2016 at 5:40 pm)Whateverist the White Wrote: I think it is a good idea and so long as staff continue to be of the high caliber we're used to I'm confident it would only be used when someone fairly deranged comes along who poisons every thread he touches. I'd prefer that there be a safety valve like this to prevent staff from being run into the ground dealing with endless annoyance from such an individual.
It is striking how a single random person can poison the atmosphere and mood of the entire forum and make everyone miserable - I've seen it here a couple of times now to varying degrees, and it is not pretty. Remember the going-ons around the time when Tibs shut the forum down for a while (allegedly for technical reasons
), man everyone was pissed, staff was on strike, and I even left for a while because I didn't want to deal with the perpetual downers here. Better have some good leverage to keep everything going smoothly and without pain and suffering.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
