SHOULD THIS BOARD REVISE THE BANNING POLICY?

[Ninjavenom]

Aye, Rog said nix on the Usergroups when a asked a little while ago for one about ninjas.

I know i'd still be willing to join if you had to pay for these boards, but i don't like the idea of subscribing to a message board, having to pay just to post chatter or stuff that can essentially be talked about over AIM conversations, just on a much smaller scale. As for bannings, i think the problem would be solved by warning the nuisances, (with a banning to follow if they don't shape up) and posting a list of rules regarding behavior, with a link to (or a movement of) Chojin's newbie guide. It's in the Questions forum, where no one really sees it, and the problem is really only in this forum. The Philo board is indeed a great example of what GB should be, with people that are hated still posting, but not making as many shitty, whiny threads as possible.

I feel like the guy who has to keep the crusty old dog because he's too attached to shoot it. The irony is that this is what the Metal board at the EZBoard was like, but now the new Metal Board is what the old GB was like. :/

I've been on a few other message boards, and the ones that are the best and most useful are the ones that post the rules. I know rules to the forums seems kind of Anti-Mockery, but i'll say now i'd rather be a little anti-semitic about what i read than be constantly annoyed by people who seem to take the right to post for granted. I'm also sure that Rog doesn't exactly like the idea of paying good money just to read the kind of crap that floods GB on an endless scale, like an atomic-bomb of stupidity.
