There has been a lot of talk about threadbans lately, and some threadbans have actually occurred (OOCC from like every thread ever, hilariously). I don't really remember threadbans being common until recently in this forum, and whenever they come up a lot of people hate the idea. As a fake polls plane, I am not really fond of them myself, and also I feel like there is a lot of mystery around them. How do threadbans work? Is there any automation or is it all done by the mods? Is there a time limit on threadbans? The oldest threads on the forums are older than some of our posters (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=140694 is the oldest thread confirmed by Jeffrey, from 2002), and numerous megathreads are over 5 years old. If bans spread thread incarnations probably most of the threads in the forums are that way. This seems like the shittiest possible punishment because it's opaque, arbitrary, and open-ended - total cop poo poo.

Threadbans suck add and should be last resort poo poo, for when someone just refuses to stop making GBS threads up a thread. Otherwise let the posts roam free

if someone's doing something punishable it merits not posting on this dead/gay site at all for whatever time period, not constructing little thread-fiefdoms

Our forefathers posted for thousands of years without need for this threadban technology. If you require innovative moderation techniques I recommend the R website

They're dumb. They're very dumb for the forum that prides itself on its ability to bully people. Threadbans are just one of the knots mods tie themselves up into because they're not willing to tell people "you suck, gently caress off".

He is clearly posting in bad faith, and his posts have been consistently made solely for the purpose of antagonizing people.

CSPAM becomes a top-level forum? Looks like threadbans are BACK ON THE MENU boys. No thread bans ever. No mods. No peace.

i, for one, think it's cool and good for the mods to discuss threadbanning people from threads they openly hate having to actually moderate and do not post in without even bothering to talk to the person being considered for a threadban. perfect system.

galenanorth posted:I mainly brought it up because drat well if you don't want to mod or are bad at being a mod maybe you shouldn't be a mod? part of the job involves figuring out who to listen to and why. constantly renaming the succ zone is bad and stupid. likewise, threadbans are almost always bad and stupid. keep in mind that just about anyone mashing the report button or begging you to do something is the C-SPAM equivalent of the racist neighbor on nextdoor who calls the cops if they see anyone outside who passes the paper bag test. the mere fact of them summoning you means that you should be extremely skeptical of whatever the gently caress it is they want from you. this is counter-intuitive and makes your job harder, i know. thems the breaks. it's not like it's a well-kept secret that modding loving sucks.

Making new rules to deal with poo poo that can be dealt with under the existing rules is lib 101 and has no place here (OOCC deserved it though)

it's funny because it's 99% on goons who can't help themselves from being The Smartest Woke In the Room fishmech-style and their reptilians brain demands they constantly engage instead of just ignoring (function-wise or mentally) and moving on. instead they have to engage getting trolled time after time and become a fission bomb each time -- which is actually way more bad then just a single bad poster that you can ignoreAdmiral Ray posted:threadbans are silly. anything worth threadbanning for is worth making someone a mod for.

bad posters need to be given an immediate sixer as soon as they post bad, it's the only way they'll learn to associate the punishment with the behavior to this end, i propose we recruit more mods and iks, about 50 should do it
