One2note: In removing the banning option from a thread . I'm all for freedom of speech , but has caused some negativity, as far as giving trolls the opportunity to sabotage blogs & vent their frustrations ?
"Freedom of Speech" does not apply here. If it's your thread, you can and should remove trolls before they totally hijack your thread and insult everyone else. Freedom of Speech gives trolls the right to make their own threads.
But CS can override the trolls, because it's CS's website. The trolls are free to make their own websites.

It's a case of damned if I do , or damned if I don't .

Not really. If I send a screed to Times of London and demand front-page placement, and don't get it, is Times denying my freedom of speech? Now or 50 years ago?
It was a mistake to bring in the banning option in the first place.
It was created in response to one person who would wreak havoc on the forums, creating new profiles which often mimicked regular posters' profiles. This was some 7/8 years ago.
By the time it was brought in with a site revamp, the individual concerned appeared to have been disappeared. There were rumours of the site taking legal action.
I only ever saw the ban function misused, either because an opinion wasn't liked by the thread author, or in the early days, for teasing fun.
Jeeepers, for those of you who remember that great man, banned me from one of his threads half a dozen times just so I'd privately mail him and give him some jip.
