hmm, where did I say anything about education level. have you ever ran a busy forum or game server yourself? if so, did you notice it's a lot different than being a player or member of that forum or server? you have people moaning at you all the time to kick and ban players from the game. on a forum, you probably receive a lot of PMs and complaints about how it is ran, as showcased by these recent topics about ACK and moderation. my point is I feel you shouldn't be qualified to say whether or not someone gets banned from the FORUM unless you have ran a forum yourself, considered all the reasons, who you are banning, why, does the offense merit a ban, most of these people have said more or less "he is annoying, ban" and have not really thought about anything except that they don't like his posts. I'd personally like to ban a select few people because their posts annoy me....do I? and has he broken any rules, NO! so these people should STFU and let the administration do their job.

it goes by popular vote, not education level.
|
Except for 6 elected presidents who didn't get the popular votes, 4 of which were elected by the electoral college, 2 were elected by the house of representatives.
|
I am well aware of the electorial college, at the end of the day it goes by voting.

There are practiacally no rules on these forum. Read them yourself, just stuff about signature size limits. The fact is that it was voted on in majority and that there are at least three active threads about his banning.

I'd just like to mention that the US voting system is entirely different than this issue.
Well thankfully, those votes are restored. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that anyone will be forced to ban ACK, but I think it speaks for itself that most of the people who voted want something done. ANY action at this point is much better than no action.
Oh and as for the Hot Topics forum - That forum is meant to go largely unmoderated, but if there is spam and 3 letter posts, etc, then that should be moderated. Off topic posts should be removed too along with ACK's attempts to derail threads. I'd welcome that sort of moderation because it keeps some order around here.

Perhaps, but that has nothing to do with education level. It doesn't matter what your education level, you can have a job in politics; George W. Bush proves this. It's still voted by popular vote because YOU voted those officals in office who vote on the president. (At least the house representatives that vote).

Yeah, a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an MBA(M is for Masters) from Harvard Business School just fall off the back of a truck these days. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I'm the bawss.

Worse place than before? When all the stupid and annoying posts you make are deleted, it can only be better than before. If other stupid and annoying posts are deleted at the same time, all the better.
