Mod(s) on here discourage discussion

[skurey]

I made this thread hoping to get feedback from all parties. Instead it gets deleted for no reason. Why not actually discuss things that are just ideas to try and make this forum better? At least you could provide reasons why you disagree with my idea, which there are many.

I just wanted to say hi before this thread gets deleted.

hey.

 

[skurey]

It could be as easy as "it's impossible to implement this."

Just a guess here, but maybe the people who run the board aren't interested in discussing the ways they control the board every 3 months. It is a no win situation for them as someone always feels they are being too harsh, to lenient, playing favorites etc.

That's why you have a discussion! So you can get all sides opinions out there and come to a conclusion that best serves all parties.

And it was posted in the section designated for board suggestions!

I'm fine with them not implementing it, never thought they would. I at least thought we might get a discussion going about the pros and cons of such a policy, but I guess not.

I'm not debating your suggestions, because it does have some merit to it, but I would guess that this forum is not set up to only ban you from parts of it at a time.

Ok and that's fine! But why can't they just say that instead of deleting the entire thread? What if someone else later has the same idea? Then they can see, oh it's not possible.

Maybe you should figure out what is getting you banned and try to avoid doing it. And if you do get banned, there's nothing stopping you from reading the board as a lurker.

The discussion of bans has been had about 100 times. Seems to always go the same way, and while i understand you were trying to be constructive, it usually gets out of hand

This is going about as expected.

The first rule of Syracusefan.com is:________________

 

[HoustonCuse]

How many bans actually happen per day(Week? Month?)? I have never been banned and I see the same names each day so I assume most people are not being banned on some frequent basis. So I assume it takes special effort to get banned, in which case it is deserved. I guess I am asking: is this really a problem? It doesn't seem like it to me.

Well that's just crazy talk - you being all logical and stuff! I go back to the AOL days and somehow have been able to avoid being banned. I've been frustrated before but if I'm posting in anger that might not add anything beneficial to a discussion, I don't hit the post button and then come back awhile later. I've usually matured by that point and delete it.

Definitely had a post deleted asking a simple question. No idea why. ::FROG:: ::COFFEE::

I understand the bans. Have been banned twice I think in the time I've been here and both times I probably should've chilled or worded something differently but they weren't insanely irrational expletive filled posts. I don't think a 7 day ban or however long it is, is justified. That's a little harsh.

The more I read the title of this thread, the funnier it gets.
