Suggestion: Ban-rationale thread

[ffastback]

Using this website is a privilege, not a right.  Donating to this website does not make you a paying customer, it makes you a benevolent benefactor.  Mods do their job for free and they are all open to passing on suggestions to the site owner as far as I am aware.  So if you don't think moderation is fair or that the TOS is fair voice your opinions to them in a PM.  But a ban rationale thread?  The only thing you'll get from that is the trolls filling it up with further demands and BS posts.  As it is they already have great influence on Amiga boards in general.  If you don't see or believe that look at forums for other vintage platforms.

as for the silly wee made up terms "Trolls" & "Trolling", well I have expressed my views on those silly terms before as nothing but silly wee made up words, used as an excuse for those who haven't the ability to simply accept that other posters may not share the same views as those who can only ever respond with those pathetic terms because they simply cannot put together a rational argument...

On its face your argument is flawed since it assumes everyone posts from their true opinions only and that no one gets off on being purposeful troublemakers for the hell of it.

Maybe so, but why would I instantly presume something someone has posted is not the truth and that what they have said is only being said in order to cause trouble... :confused:

No one said you (or anyone) should.  

I tend to (just like real life) observe what people say on a regular basis and take this into account before responding to them as I don't know these people personally...

As do most people...your point?

Therefore it would be pretty arrogant to instantly presume that any post I read by someone is just out to cause trouble or not their true opinion...

If you were silly enough to do so yes you would be being pretty arrogant indeed.
