Any one else see ckmlb ruling his own empire in the future with an iron hand ?

As far as Gballzac, maybe best idea is to unban it, but ban it from Sony/MS/Gaming/Sales forums ?

I think blue is right, un ban her account on the nintendo forums.

I find this very disturbing as there have been other banned users creating new accounts and trolling, yet no action taken.



i'm gonna make a new account with BANNED as my username, LOL...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO.

This idea is awful and stupid.

Trolls often just want attention. This idea guarentees it to them, like it's their right. Why should we highlight our worst posters with special threads?

If a poster that anyone gives a rat's ass about is banned, the reason for it will be passed around. For everyone else, screw 'em. They were banned because they broke the rules. Check their old posts to find out why. The end.

Agreed.

Most times, if a ban is warranted, it should be fairly obvious to anyone that's curious enough... ...and I especially don't like the idea of mods having to justify their actions to everyone in the community. Not that this is a dictatorship or anything like that - the mods here usually connect with one another before deciding on bans - but once the hammer is laid down, that's it and there should be nothing to talk about with outsiders. Any further discussion should be between the offender and ioi (and he can forward the issue to whichever mod is responsible).

We have enough things to talk about and entertain ourselves with - no need to have discussions on why certain individuals lose their posting rights...

 

 


Agreed as well.


well I agree as well...WOW follow....O_O


 You could create the thread and lock it, then mods can edit it when needed and nobody is able to complain.

I definitely see the problem with letting trolls have a hangout but I also see the merit in knowing why people are banned.

I also liked the idea of editing the posts, but it could still be hard to find the post that they were banned for.

1) Can that even be done?

2) I wouldn't mind it personally, but I don't know if a person unable to control itself on Sony forums should be allowed on Nintendo forums where it will probably still do the same behavior -- just less obviously since there is less to set it off.  Maybe if Gballzack could convince the mods that it was reformed and would not go crazy again . . . I saw the incident where Gballzack got banned and came back about half a dozen times under different names -- I thought it was kind of funny but it clearly is unacceptable behavior.

Well if you let a troll back in the forum of their console of choice it won't change anything. They're still gonna troll/flame, and other fanboy trolls are always going to be heading to the rival console's forums, and will gladly jump into the flamebait that partially-banned troll is sure to be spewing.

I thought Gball was pretty cool for a bit, even added him/her as a friend, but judging by the later posts of that account it's obvious why the banstick was applied. Every time a ban happened all you had to do was check gball's posts that day to see why.

That being said, even though I'm an enthusiastic, yet realistic Nintendo fan, I don't want to see flaming or trolling of any kind in the first place.

About mods being involved in flaming, I haven't ever witnessed that in my time here. As a Nintendo fan certain mods have said some things that have rubbed me the wrong way, but it's not their job to pander to me or anyone. Just because a mod or anyone says things you don't like or disagree with doesn't mean they are flaming or trolling.

That is a really good idea.  Even better than putting "banned for ____" in their profiles.  It's got my vote.

A wall of shame won't contribute anything to this site but constant flaming. Banned people might even log in under a different alias to ask for unbanning  their account or to  bash on mods.  It's better to  PM a mod  if someone has a question,  or to go with  Stof suggestion.. 

Gballzack was in my friend list too. Her posts were well-thinked, and she could carry a good arguement. The problem was that she used a lot of masked insults and blattant trolling to spite some users (Like kber81 or ckmlb, now a mod, that didn't went good for her LoL.) But maybe she was banned for being a transexual? She changed her sex so many times in accounts even Nip/Tuck would not take her for a client.
