The Question and Answer Board

[sarals]

The question is: Has the Internet and the type of people using it evolved to the point where you simply have to come up with a way to ban people that you and your buddies just don't want to put up with? But still allow EVERYBODY who follows the rules a place to post....

why doesn't the ignore feature work for this? it seems it should. In my early days on RB I put tons of people on ignore. Eventually I learned to read through that stuff and not let it get to me (except for one notable exception and I think you know who that was). My concern about banning is the criteria for doing so. It needs to be clearly defined and stated. Maybe there could be a rule about a poster that is badgering, excessive and/or repetitive?

I think it can be done.

I have confidence that between you and the other good thinkers around here, you can deal with these issues. iHub is still by far the best place.

p.s. hope you feel better soon
