Quoting: SheldonCooper It's just an idea. Trinity really has trouble with some folks here. I figure a system that could police itself could work. I could be wrong, though. You have any ideas to offer?

But, all in all, not a bad idea. Maybe it would get rid of some of the more hateful ac's AND avatars. |

People would stock up on ban bombs and drop all 5 at once for even the slightest infringement. Even if you were to limit the number of "bombs" a poster could drop to something like one a day, people would just create multiple accounts and still bombard someone. And if they took a particular dislike to someone, they'd wait for the 72 hours to end and bomb them back to banville. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27970216 But, all in all, not a bad idea. Maybe it would get rid of some of the more hateful ac's AND avatars. Well, that's the beauty of it. Ban bombs would only be gotten by trading karma points so if you're not getting karma you can't get any ban bombs. I would add a ban bomber could only bomb a poster once per day, just to be fair. And maybe, if a bomber bombs to excessively he or she gets the title "war monger" and suffers some consequence for it like can only have one ban bomb in their arsenal or they become more expensive. I know there are folks here that thumbs down excessively just to get their karma (karma farming) points that way, which doesn't seem fair.

My apologies if you're a woman. I am hardly mad if my idea is not accepted. I am not attacking you, but communicating on the Internet is very difficult because it lacks the subtlties to send the right message that can (an is) often misinterpreted. But I do understand how one can feel attacked if their ideas are not accepted. I get that. The challenge is knowing when that is happening and getting over it.

Well to be fair, I've seen a ton of your posts over time and had no idea what sex you were. I don't see how that is relevant at all unless you flaunt the fact that you're female at every opportunity - but you don't. |
