Rule Change (New Staff Power)

[Jackalope]

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. 

We had something like that. It was humiliating for the "jerk" and only served to encourage them to act out, and for the rest of the membership to taunt them. I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but that certainly isn't the sort of environment I want to foster here.

We got rid of it for very good reasons. I highly doubt any of the current admins would support bringing it back, and I'm certain that a majority wouldn't.
