    Can the membership vote on banning someone?

    Now that would be about the worst idea I ever heard of!! It would be the most partisan vote imaginable, with all the libs wanting to ban conservatives, and all the conservatives wanting to ban lib!!

    I suppose my larger point would be that it does bother me to lose people from the forum.
    Yes, even newbies.

    All of us were newbies at one point.

    And when I first got here I believed the "there is bias" stuff I was being told.

    And I believed it when lots of folks started leaving and tried starting a board war in December.

    Then I started looking at some things that haven't changed and some of the members that have been here for a while.

    And I started looking at other boards and realizing that at just about every single board out there---a discussion like this is happening very similar--and I decided that for better or worse---this is the place for me.

    I have not been discriminated against.
    I have NOT seen evidence of discrimination and in fact---have seen massive proof of people bending over backwards to prevent that.

    People can either believe that or not.

    But yes, it bothers me to lose people---and nothing I say and nothing the PF staff does---will stop it from happening.

    Because some people want to see it continue.​


    And that's the piece of naivete that I didn't realize I had.

    Actually, it might be the best display of bi-partisanship. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives voting to ban the Libertarians.

    Apparently not all copies of the Forum Rules have been updated over time so I am taking care of that. Sorry about the confusion.

    does this mean you are now going to rescind the threat you issued regarding my violation of rule #13?

    Nope, they can't. Be glad too. :twisted:

    Just because Libertarians obviously have much better ideas that the other two combined doesn't mean you can pick on us. :fart:

    Huh, I thought rule 13 was the one where a mod could pick on JB anytime they felt like it. Yes, you are that special! :D

    Who is 'you'? I think rules need to be a bit more specific than that. :date:

    Rule 14 will be that you can be infracted for complaining about Rule 13 infractions ;)

    There was - I've seen it before. It just wasn't posted on all of the different 'Rules' stickies which as Shiva pointed out haven't been updated properly. One I saw earlier today only had 11 rules.

    But you might have a case for reversal on the legal principle of Moderatorium Slackus :-D

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!

    True. And it's not paranoia if they are out to get you.

    Jolly Hockeysticks, you're a quick learner, Southpaw. Keep up that condescending tone and you'll be a mod in no time. ;)
