General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 13.0

The previous ones didn't.I have to say I think anyone who takes even a brief glance at that thread is going to see what Dawn's argument is like. If they still choose to enter the fray then they should already know what to expect.I tend to agree with Chiroptera that as long as Dawn restricts himself to the thread he initiated to put forward his own position on the question its better for him to stay there and run in circles than take his logical propositions into other threads and derail them. People obviously want to bang their heads against a brick wall, given how popular the thread is, so what purpose does banning Dawn, who on his own constitutes one entire side of the debate, serve other than to create a brief hiatus in the proceedings.TTFN,AW

The only effective Admin action available is just to close the thread. There is no discussion going on between people other than Dawn and his interlocutors. If Dawn is suspended there will be nothing going on except more posts piling up for him to reply to with the same assertions when the suspension ends. We have already seen that brief suspensions don't make any difference and Dawn just continues as before.Do you want me to close the thread? As is said before some people seem to enjoy beating their heads against a brick wall, if you don't and you don't like watching it then I recommend you stop following the thread. It will be played out in a day or 2 anyway at this rate and I sincerely hope no Admin would be foolish enough to promote a sequel thread to that disaster.TTFN,AW

Yeah, the [forum=-37] forum. I'm sure if Dawn were to spread the same line and style of argumentation to other threads he would quickly find himself either banned or restricted there. But since he is just on the one thread he has effectively showcased himself, and it saves the admins moving the thread and setting up permissions for participation in the thread which was necessary for showcase threads.TTFN,AW
