No, Ban people who start unconstructive threads on a daily basis, with no other motivation than to start a flamewar, and ban them when they brag about liking fire.

Ban people who constantly bash people due to what SYSTEM they own, or like.

Noone is an Idiot for liking the PS3

Noone is a kiddy for owning a Wii

First ban = 7 days

Second ban = 1 month

Third ban = 3 months

Fourth ban = Bye Bye

Circumventing Ban with new username = Bye Bye

I approve of this thread.

I agree and it's why i started my 'concerns' thread this place is going down the toilet, and going down the toilet FAST.

These things run in cycles.  I remember when kwaad got banned for starting a slightly silly thread, and then all kinds of people spoke up and mentioned that they thought that this bannation was a bit too aggressive, and thus, he was invited back.  Now, we seem to have a few more trouble-makers that people are complaining about. 

 While I think that the mods have gotten a little bit lax lately, it would be a mistake to go back to the non-sensical banning like what happened to kwaad. 

NOTHING was nonsensical about Kwaad original Banning. He was banned for just cause, and re-invited by Soft moderators, who dont care about the community.

He was banned for making threads for the sole purpose to incite flames, the same thing he is STILL doing, and admitting to, in his "How Nintendo." thread

*walks in to thread, notices many scowels in my direction*

 Ok guys.  Sometimes things get a little hairy in here. But It's not always as easy to do the mod thing as some people seem to think. A thread that starts out as quite lockable quickly looses lockability the longer it's open, as people start posting in it and turn things into a viable conversation.

As for banning. Yes, there are a few people in here that tend to be at the route of most problems. But their only the route because of how other people choose to respond in an even poorer manner. Kwaad and Hus are by no means a valuable contribution to the board, but you know that old "first sinner cast the first stone thing"? Well a lot of people are too busy hurling stones to realize that well... they shouldn't be hurling stones.

Now I've been away for a few days, but if I see someone crossing the line, I'll take the appropriate actions. Now if you'd like to do yoru part to keep the forums clean(and I mean all of you), it's to not so quickly devolve into that which you despise.

 Fair enough, but when a thread is started as a lockable thread like most of Kwaad's and Hus's threads, just lock them, that way no one is given the chance to turn the thread into a flame war

I agree with the original poster and I think mods need to act more though I realize there seems to be a lack of policy on where to actually "draw the line" without resorting to banning. Where is the line, stof? I mean when we talked about adding mods and what they should do even that thread wasn't free of troll attacks and we did not reach consensus. One idea for known trolls is to remove their right to open threads.

 Agree.

Oh I agreee with this. everyone here just bashes each other like crazy and acts all fanboysish, and no it isn't just Kwaad and Hus that do it. This is one of the reasons why I can't take these forums too seriously. come to PSU forums and you see how orderly things are kept.
