Rule Change (New Staff Power)

[Iroscato]

Not even close. I'm talking the human equivalent of a viral attack. Everything I have said about this has been on that point.

And yes, both theists and atheists (no need to capitalise it, btw) are addressed equally.

I have yet to feel the need to "ignore list" anyone, but my understanding is if you do this all of their 'crap' is hidden.. Why not just do this or simply up the sensitivity on the no trolling/flaming rule. That way the 'new rule' doesn't look like a probation on speech.

Ignore lists don't 100% remove the presence of the person from the forum. They also don't hide the shocked and upset reactions from members the poster considers friends.

The bar for this new 'nuclear option' is pretty much set at the level of DespondentFishDeathMasochismo (the fact that I can remember his name is a testament to how utterly toxic that little cunt was) from what I can gather. He single-handedly dragged the forum down several notches and his erasure would have actively been a good thing. I have a feeling this new measure may be in some way influenced by his unparalleled trolling and shit-flinging. Correct me if I'm wrong, mod-squad

D-Fish was also an atheist, from what I recall. Though he may have had a shrine to Hatred in his bedroom. Personally I'll take a creationist any day.
