It usually turns into a free for all, for those who have been upset or offended by the offending party, and the offending party.
OK, they are sent to a subforum for being a pre-ban/partial ban dick, get to maybe learn to de-dickifise themselves through salt peter chat therapy, may or may not continue the dick behavior, and then are allowed to return to the general forum and be re-evaluated to see if their dickosity coefficient has changed to an acceptable level.
Again, No Thanks.
Actually, what ends up happening is people just fight with the person, and the person can be whatever they like there. That's just it...they can be a jerk in that subforum, just not permitted to be that way out in the open. Once they are let back into the open forum, they need to curb their behaviors, or they're gone. It's not reform, it's revenge for the offended parties. lol I don't really partake in all that, I'm not one to call people names and so on. I feel that if someone is chronically derailing threads with their crappy behavior, I tend to just ignore the person. Actually ignoring the person, not using the ignore feature.
