Whom do you miss?
« on: August 08, 2004, 03:37:19 pm »
I just wanted to see what you may think about this.

Notice the steadily declining activity with the Starfleet Command community? Surely we should be happy that we have Dynaverse.net to let there be a chance for a new continuance. So here is an idea...

Let there be a lifting of all bannings.

I can think of more reasons to advocate this than to oppose it.

In opposition. Some people have done some pretty petty things that may have warrented banning and now they get a second chance? Perhaps so.

In favor. What have we got to lose? Can anyone deny we could stand an infusion of participation? That it just might get a little more interesting? That they could always become re banned if they prove that they should be?

I, for one miss, Atrahasis. The reasons should be self evident. And might I recount that it was suggested that there be a cooling off period? The Taldren forum we came from doesn't exist anymore. That should be cool enough.

How about you? Who do you miss haunting the boards?

Too My knowledge, Atra Isn't banned from these Boards, But I could be wrong.

as far as an Amnesty Un Banning, why would I want the Host's here to Have to go through the Headaches those who where Banned caused again?

Sure, I understand that. Perhaps I underestimate the necessity and work involved. But perhaps not. If all bannings carried over then surely most of those banned have long since moved on. I just think we have more to gain than to lose from it. Or am I naive?

PS. BTW, Hi Steven. Havn't said anything to you in ages. Hope all is as well as can be for you.

This site was started with no bans.
Bans were earned.
Some were lifted.
Offenders repeated same behaviour. (typicaly the same behaviour displayed on taldren and other sites, and the reason they got banned there)
Bans were reinstated.

Almost all of the currently banned people are in 1 of 2 groups
1.) Registering with fake emails and abusive usernames.
2.) Abusive/Insulting language.

Sorry Rouge...

People get banned for a reason. They cause the moderators, who give of thier time and money by maintaining these boards, to have to invest time policing these boards that they would rather be spending with families and other loved ones in the real world.

We are here by the generosity and goodwill of a few. They should have the option of baring those who abuse that hospitality in the face of numerous warnings.

You wouldn't hesitate to ask oreven force an unruley houseguest to leave; I do not think that we should expect the moderators to treat troublemakers any differently in this home that they built for us than in the ones that they have built for themselves.

Yeah Rogue, I miss Atra too. He as well as everyone else got a fresh start here. I've heard conflicting stories on whether or not he's currently banned.

:scenario: IIRC, once banned you may request reinstatement after a predetermined period. If a person has a temporary (say one week, for example) ban and never applies for reinstatement, I guess that would make them permanently banned, but by there own choice?

We've already had the return of some people banned at Taldren who are contributers. That's the good news. Unfortunately, some digressed and got themselves booted here as well. Hopefully anyone who honestly wants to contribute to the community, even just verbally, will find a way to coexist here.

...and Kim, you kill me.  ;)

Hi Rod, I approve of how you said that. And that's the purpose of bringing it up. Certainly I'm not the only one who isn't up with the current state of things. I just wanted to throw it out to see what people had to say and what the possibities are. Much has been done and there are still many possibilities. I've seldom come across anyone I just dislike here. If there is nothing to talk about then so be it. If there are situations that need reconsideration then perhaps it can brought up.

Atra started here with a clean slate.
He started his same old BS and got banned for a week.
Created a new name to skirt the ban and posted more same old BS and got the first perma ban on this site.
Letting him come back here,aint gonna happen.

For what it is worth...

I have been involved in the SFC gaming community since 12/99. During that time it has been my experience that those who can self-justify acting outside the rules of good taste and this community once will almost always do it again. And only a very few are ever banned. Most get a warning. Of those, the ones I would categorize as "positive contributors" take the warning and move on. I feel that anyone who does not fit into that category falls into the "good riddance to bad rubbish" category. Forgive the gross generalizations, as I am certain that someone or two will have exceptions to my statements. But those are my feelings, nonetheless.

Respects...
