Should I deal with the most obnoxious members of this forum?

[exobay]

Lol, even here not saying any bad words or flaming I still get zapped. Shows how bad these people want their stalkers and clones. Go ahead and zapped me. After all I am here only for this thread.

Nothing wrong with that. I already mentioned in my opening statement that my advice has always been to simply use the "ignore" option. I'm not making a decision based on what I want. I'm trying to gauge the general mood of the electorate regarding these sorts of characters.

Once I've received sufficient feedback, I then have to decide what to do with them. There are quite a number of options.

In cases where there are disputes, do you ask yourself this question "Who started it?"
If you do, how can you be sure that the forummer whom you deem to be obnoxious is the one who started it?
Are you aware of all the facts and the history in order to make a fair judgement?

Disputes are not the issue. Flame wars are part and parcel of the package.

What I'm referring to are those that won't let the matter rest and constantly harangue a particular member over some argument that happened ages ago. It's like heckling at a public meeting and can get rather annoying.

Take a look at the dankos vs Char_Azn posts and you'll see what I mean.

I'm well aware of what happened between them.
Dankos didn't like Char Azn's posts and went after him. Didn't agree with Dankos then, even though I don't particularly agree with most of Char Azn's posts either.
Subsequently, Char Azn went crying to you to release Dankos' IP address and wanted Dankos to "declare publicly in the forum that he would not go after his brother".
My support suddenly turned to Dankos.

C'mon you are a clone just like me. I am very observant here. You appeared only after certain events took place, not just this poll thread. And i have every reason to believe that you are one of those who PMed Leongsam or with your other clones.

 

[cooleo]

Those 2 should get a room

just like u and papsmearer.

 

[cooleo]

just like u and papsmearer.

I am very happy to inform you that Papsmearer will not exist soon

As for u and Pui Cheebye, i dun see how u 2 can suck each other's cock and be buddies. Maybe one of u shud be banned.

 

[Rogue Trader]

sam leong you cheebye kia.. you let the worst spammer ivebert run riot in here for so long until vigilante action was required to restore peace. then you actually summoned him back to create more traffic.

now you set up this poll for what?

anyway, there's no smoke without fire. Fuckers like Leetahbar, Tonychat and ah pui char azn deserve their fans' support. in fact, the 3 should be banned.

The complaints will never stop and it's hard to please everyone here. Interestingly, ivebert's supporters (you should know very well from where ) never complained about him.

I've pretty much let everyone run riot and I've received numerous emails and PMs asking me to do something about it.

There are silent members here who tell me they'd start contributing if I enforced some degree of law and order. In the other corner are the more rowdy characters who enjoy the rough and tumble.

I have various options :

1. Do nothing.
2. Infractions and a 24 hour ban.
3. Place them in moderation so they still can post but at a much slower rate.
4. Delete the account and all messages.

I'll decide in a couple of days time after reviewing the feedback and the voting trends.

Here is my suggestion. To have two folders.

"Law and Order" folder - no flaming, PAP style if you like.
"Rowdy" folder - where there are actually many who can't live a day here without flame wars.

The forum is not big enough for two political parties la.

Nice in theory but too hard for me to police and administer. I used to have a mod to help me out but he quit on me after a couple of months. It's a thankless job.

Dun be such a cheapskate. Pay a wage of $10k per mth with benefits thrown in. A summer house by the glades. Throw in a 401k plan and we are good to go.

 

[red amoeba]

just leave things as they are. Forummers (with or without clones) should be matured enough to handle flammings or stalkings.

someone stalk you- just ignore ...u not gonna lose your hair or what. If you actually do, please go see a shrink cos you are too involved to get a quality life.

but if you are stupid enough to let your real life identity to be discovered...n for your personal details to be aired like salted fish here...u have only urself to blame.

What about ivebert's stalking of Goh Meng Seng before his own identity was exposed? Acceptable?

 

[Alamaking]

Limit the no. of infractions a samsters can use per day, longer time penalty to those infracted.

Reason for 1 is to prevent abusing, takes a few more samsters to infract that nuisance

Reason for 2 is those nuisance will consider twice about their actions if their penalty is longer.

my 2 cents worth.

That u r happy to allow. Did u do anything to him? In fact he n tonychat can get away with watever shit they post, cause they r anti-sporeans like u. Knnb wat a prick u r!
