Community Ban hammer

[KELAMA]

I agree that this is a terrible idea! Why is it that some people strive to have unlimited control over others??

What would it be like if in every forum ten to fifteen people could just group together and vote to ban everyone and anyone that they didn't agree with or just labeled "extremely foolish?"
What would happen is that every forum would be taken over by certain groups of members looking to control said forum as their very own and membership as a whole would plummet as all forums would end up being just a bunch of little facebook sites with only the elite class being allowed to post.

Just let the mods do their jobs and trust that they will also rein in other mods who may start running amok.
Just my humble opinion.

I couldn't agree with you more. :thumbup:

To answer your first question: only insecure people, with inferiority complexes, behave this way. Unfortunately, this place has a few hypocrites, whose sole purpose is, to harass others. They sure in the heck aren't here for knives- that's for damn sure!

Furthermore, people who demonstrate these type of personality traits, only feels secure in large groups. There's a place on this forum for these children, to throw their immature tantrums; unfortunately, they venture out & disturb the civilized part of this forum, when they get bored...

It's this type of person, who seeks control.

I think that you should use the ignore button more if you feel the need to vote banning people is all I'm saying it's there for a reason don't let fools piss ya off. Heck you can act like it's your own personal hammer.

This is one of the most spot on posts I've had the pleasure of reading, on this forum; & one that I subscribe to. In fact, there are several posters here, who I can't read a word of what they're posting (unless they're quoted)...& I prefer it that way! If you only a clue, just how many people are on my list...

But then again, I'm here because of my passion for cutlery, & it's imperative, that I know, whom exactly I'm dealing with, if I intend to keep my 100% Feedback, intact!

This post receives my vote for best advice.:thumbup:

Yes it does, Turbo, yes it does! :thumbup::thumbup:

Lol it was just a matter of time. There's chum in the water. 😃

There are certain types that really do nothing but post flame bait just to get attention and or cause issues.

Those are the ones that I usually tend to ignore and or don't even get involved at all as it's not usually worth the headaches.

Kelama,

Wow, your opinion is rude AND incorrect. But noted.

You speak of hypocrisy and I've seen you speak of honor, as a matter of fact you and I discussed honor and you openly support strider knives..

You say forgive him... what of atonement?? Ever heard of it. Your hypocrisy is evident.

Also you PILE on people in the gb&u fairly regularly, there is more of that insecure group behavior your preaching about.

 

[Ken44]

And as noted by others they often get them selves banned anyway, its just agony sometimes waiting.

Perhaps this was more w&c appropriate as it did have a humorous tint when posted, but in a "I wish I could vote someone out of here way".

I think you realized that shorty after posting,lol.

I know how you feel though, and often feel the same way when in the General forum at times.
I wish some of those would venture into W&C when they need to blow off steam. I don't really know if that would help or not, but most that do seem to keep it out of the other forums.

Like others have said, just put the one's you'd rather not read on ignore, and let the Mods be the only one's with their hand on the ban hammer.
That's why they make the big bucks !

Me, rude? I just stated my opinion- just like you, Seriously- you need to go back to the W&C, for a reality/rude check.

As for Strider: you are only partly correct. I own 2, appreciate what he has given to the USMC soldier's at Camp Pendleton/military, but as far as his other baggage; we won't open that can of worms here.

You posted a Ban Hammer thread, I commented...get over it. You claim this thread was meant in sarcasm- then you should take everything with a grain of salt...

Oh, & I sincerely apologize, if I hurt your feelings, or in your word's, came across as being, "rude."


Edit: Please go back & look through every post I've ever made on this forum, & show me where I said: "forgive him (Strider)."

I can assure with almost complete certainty, that never happened! I'm pretty certain, that I've always steered clear of that hot potato.

Back on topic, please.

 

[shinyedges]

Yep, when people started taking it more serious than expected. Its my fault , I posted in the wrong place and the humor was lost in the letters.

When rev kicked panzerons thread to w&c I was like YES!!! LOL

I think you realized that shorty after posting,lol.

I'm in w&c all the time, got something to say then say it.. you've pm'd me before don't be shy now.

You said your opinion and I said mine, don't like reading my posts or others you think are in a "group" mentality then ignore them.

Also I never said this post was made with sarcasm did ? I said it was made with humor. Their is a difference, well sometimes anyway lol sometimes sarcasm is humorous but in this case no sarcasm wasn't intended just a bit of wishful thinking and humor.

There's not much of a topic to be had here. "Death by community" is not going to happen.
However, this thread is already showing some of the propensities that would get people in trouble if it were a reality.

I agree and apologize for placing this in the wrong area, obviously wasn't received as it was intended.

[shinyedges]

Oh please, now you say get thicker skin? What about your thread where your deciding on if you "want to stick around" LOL

 

[shinyedges]

I imagine this thread will be closed soon so ill do the mods a favor and close it up. Bummer some folks took it the way they did, but I wont shed any tears. Good riddins and good night.
