Well, that was kinda what I thought, too...But, this isn't exactly a dictatorship...

AND...When they DO come back, they usually come back with a vengeance, creating 10 times MORE shit...If they are ignored, they just get bored and quietly slink away...OR, if they aren't intelligent enough to go away, or they don't have any other life outside of the internet, no one would really care or even KNOW if they were still here or not, if they simply ignore them...Just let them 'talk' to themselves for a while...

When we requested the power to IP ban people 2 years ago (when Horror actually WAS posting in the moderator forum, and communicating with us)...He told us the reason HE didn't feel that IP banning was necessary was:

1) "What if another (innocent) user wants to visit the forum at the home of the IP banned person, and they are restricted because of someone else?"...He said that wasn't fair

2) "Many times IPs are random, and a person gets a different one every time he signs in, and in those cases it wouldn't even work"...I have NO clue what he was talking about there

3) "Everyone deserves another chance"...He truly believed that if someone were banned, they would straighten up so that they wouldn't be banned again:rolleyes:

4) "How bad could it possibly get?", "How much 'damage' could a couple of irritating people really cause?, it's ONLY an internet forum"...This just shows that he doesn't spend any time AT this forum


So yeah, if the other mods (mod) agreed, we could ban them 50 times a day...But, who has that kind of time?...It takes THEM just as much time to create a new screen name, as it takes for us to ban them...I DO like a lot of games, but that one sucks
