I’m assuming this thread was started to see how the forum community felt about temporary banning before making a decision on it, so what was decided?

That's exactly why it was started. The poll shows one thing, while a lot of the comments indicate another. There's been no decision either way yet.

Missed this thread 'till now and have read all post's. What's with all the pussy footin' around Greg?? Who's bein the a-holes---you "Mods" are the ones who have recieved them, so let's hear what's goin on. Common, you got 2knees tellin peeps to blow him and a mod doing drunken posting. I know they're just b.s.'n around but what about a new member??? If Alpinezone wants to be "pure white" shouldn't that be banned???

I like that..now I just need to get in the inner circle!!! :snow:

Would anyone here actually accept a temporary ban? I'm too old to accept being treated like a child. I'd be gone for good.

A pm asking the offending individual to dial it back seems more appropriate. If not good-bye forever.

I’m very anti-banning in most cases. The exception being bullying those who don’t want to fight for whatever reason.

I'd be gone before the ban even hit----wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction

You probably wouldn't fit.

No offense, it's just that we can't be too nice to each other (we've been agreeing alot lately). It feels wierd and I don't think it's good for the health of the forum.

It depends what the temporary ban is for..if it's for goofing with Philplug or OldDirtySnowboarder definitely not and I would try to appeal the temporary ban..I don't know how, maybe by buying Gregie some new bike shorts or a steezy beard trimmer..If it was for something really bad like a relentless personal attack..then I would accept it..as you and I both know..sometimes we have to filter ourselves online. Seriously maybe 95% of the dumbass things I think or find funny but are inappropriate are filtered but the other 5% slip through and get me in trouble...

Oh well with this site getting stricter and more serious..I will need a fliter for my filter..,

I can't speak on behalf of the AZ team, but I can guess that their intent is not to purify the content of the site, but to continue to provide a comfortable place for folks to enjoy each others company and information, without feeling like the flow is going to be interrupted by the twit that makes everyone ask "Who invited him to the party?"

My question would be why do they need an invite??? And maybe the person complaining is just a frggin wuss that should suck it up. Dunno really, guess that's why I asked.

And another thing……the next time an all out flame war is under why check out the Who’s On Line section, it fills up, probably with the same folks who complain about juvenile behavior. I guess it’s a Roman Coliseum thing.

Every thread gets interrupted that has over about 5 replys. People start hyjacking, answer the question they want to answer instead of the one asked or just kidding around with each other about goat sex or what not.

I agree it can be annoying, but that's the way it is, people want to have fun with it.

You're kidding, but if they did I'd be right on it...and I'm not alone.

Freakin 2kness would grab a case and his family wouldn't see him the rest of the night.

I agree..can't you call me obese or something..even though I'm technically just overweight based on my BMI..lol...

My thought is I didn't know there was a problem.

Agreed 100%. I may me a new member, but have been reading the forums for much longer, and don't see the problem. I would have to understand the problem to have a meanigful opinion on how to fix it.

Holy crap. It's only 5%?

It's a good thing you work for a small family company, otherwise you'd either have been fired for your emails or have improved the filter a bit.

Well, good for you. Benefit to the general population is debatable.

AZ Time-Out?

Should we institute temporary bans?

Yes

No

Unsure
