One2note: Look at it from an outsiders perspective.
After reading the thread topics & the comments , would you enter this minefield ?
I'm one of the first to get wound up by some of the crap on here but in the long run, if you want to participate in the forums you have to take the rough with the smooth.

The Trolls and Incessant Dumb Thread Topic creators would sharp fade away if they were ignored but they're not, so they'll keep being the lame brains they are.

I'm being far too serious for this time of night.

Off to find drink.

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 ?
The best moderation is always 'self - moderation' and ideally people would be a considerate as to what they post!

But yawn we no longer live in a civilised society and the loony left (esp) seem to regard 'ordinary civility' impossible unless they hold power ... and one can only begin to imagine their excesses if they DO ever hold sway again ???

So far as MBs and the like - my own thoughts are that it's reasonable to expect the TA (Thread Author) or OP (Original Poster) to act as a 'responsible host' and to maintain order in their thread 'as if' the debate were taking place in their own home ...

Those who can't behave would soon find themselves no longer welcome and (the less dense) would simply not bother 'contributing' their negativity n BS ?

And, perhaps the Site Mods might 'take an interest' in who's threads were being well run and who was creating threads 'just for the sake of being controversial and stirring the muck?' Creating a ban on the creation of new threads might be a powerful tool to consider ...

I think the Mods should introduce a 'Nuke' button. I want to see my enemies burning in a little emoticon, with screaming sound effects. devil

The trolls just need someone to hate.
Someone to fill their empty lives . A villain to make them feel like heros

Don't believe the hype !!

In some darkened corner, an evil troll called karma is rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically.

One2note: I generally find that those who are too quick to hit the ban button , are either not worth my time , or they don't like an opinion other than their own !
I think that is likely the reason why the ban function was removed. Some were abusing it constantly and seemed to enjoy having that power over others.

Only sometimes...but you and I both know that some truly enjoyed having that ability to ban and had no trouble boasting about it afterward.....usually followed with a bunch of rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing just to make sure it hit home.
