Poll: Bring back the dog?
 

Greets!

I'm not going to do this on a regular basis, so don't get used to it. I pretty much HATE Democracy as a form of government, it invariably leads to mob rule and a legalized welfare plunder-state. However, I think VERY highly of the idea of people having a say in their government, and being TRULY represented by their governmental SERVANTS. Voting seems to be the best solution for this so far... combined with strict legal boundaries as to WHAT can be "put to vote".

There has been a lot of outcry following last night's banning of Dogman. This situation seems as good as any to put these ideas to practice.

Whether or not you all vote to bring him back, there WILL be a 1 month ban... he's crossed the line too many times and insulted ALL of us with his attacks on the forum membership.

That's all.

Questions: How many times demonstrating bad behavior/engaging in name calling (veiled or not) is too many? And does this standard apply equally across the board regardless of # of posts and duration of membership, or do some get more latitude than others? Or is there really no limit?

I was JUST wondering when and who would start this thread.....

A truly objective application of the forum rules, regardless of member "standing" etc., is not possible... as the rules (in their current form) are not defined with enough precision and clarity to make a 100% impartial decision about when they've been broken.

However, we (madfranks, myself, and JQP) do make every attempt to be as fair, impartial, and "giving of the benefit of the doubt" that we possibly can.

Very righteous, good way to end and start the years.

I take it you don't like mob rule.

Wrong.
You can think about whether THIS lifeboat has a captain during your 3-day ban.
Book... I've grown tired of your repeated veiled attacks on me, I've put up with FAR more from you and your meaning-twisting divisive BS than I reasonably should.
Hmmm... no vote either. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.gif

How about THEM rolleyes? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Correct equal measures should be taken for obvious regularized & multiple "shit" attacks of the forum and its membership.

This ban of Pluto weighted heavily in my mind and I was very much thinking of quiting because of this........I really don't know what is going on because I usually skip anything that looks like a stupid fight and keep on reading........I didn't even know that he drank (as many here do because of job loss or family troubles) so that I cannot say anything about that..... if one month looks fair to the rest of the gang then let it be..........................................HEY PLUTO, BE SURE TO RETURN IN 30 DAYS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AND MAY YOU BE HERE TO CELEBRATE 2013.....be sure to write even if you are in a FEMA camp.

we need another troll back here to help joe king......please un ban him so joe and his buddies have more help diverting threads and attacking members.....yeah, thats a no.

I think Mr. Dogman's knowledge of history is weak and agenda driven.

I don't appreciate any attacks, but it was ok for another member to mouth off and say K-os, Me and dogman were trolls, thats ok though.


Oh here I am thanking JK !!! Does that make me a troll? (Insert a finger here.)

where's the public viewing option in this poll?


Are these removed to a secret and undisclosed location as in Iowa for sockpuppet encroachment?

I hear you, Zap...
However, if I banned every person who called another forum member a troll, we'd almost ALL (including myself) be banned. Troll-naming seems to be the "national sport" of this place...

Great job Gaillo. I don't think this is mob rule at all. This forum has been built up by about 50 core members. Just jewgle gold silver forum and we're second behind geltismoney.

I do consider GSUS my second family to an extent. Have I wanted to dick stab the fuck out of dogman at times, oh for sure. Do I really trust Book, nope. But that's how this forum rolls. We freely talk about EVERYTHING, literally, EVERYTHING, other than something illegal. All forums should be like this. For fuck sake, mentions jews or zionism on ANY OTHER fucking forum and see what happens. We've got it MADE here, there's no other freer forum on the net that I can find. I do think that Gaillo doesn't like the word cunt, but that's probably because he's not as European or cultured as I am. LOL.

The only rule I try to live by when posting on GSUS. DON'T POST WHEN YOU'RE TOAST.

where's the public viewing option in this poll? Try "view poll results" underneath the poll.

The attacks that you're referring to are because you ladies give Joe King a pass. Oh he's not so bad, etc. Some of us see right through him. Just saying.

I agree Solid, Its almost a New YEAR WHOOO HOOOO , I will try to behave myself and forgive and forget, life is way to short to be pissy all the time.

No, the one that shows the individual votes of the members placed as in a yeh and ney fashion.

To avoid sockpuppet infringement.

just wanting to know which 6 members are voting for censorship.
