Carpet Bans

Is it fair to ban people even if they were trying to stop the discussion? Just a thought. Anyway, props to whoever dropped the bomb on the flood thread [Edited on 01.03.2013 4:05 PM PST]

Maybe if rule enforcers do their part, rule breakers can actually be discouraged. Every carpet ban is a mod saying "whoops. I failed at this moderating thing, time to overcompensate".[/quote] In this case it was "Whoa! Look what happened while I was having dinner. 5 pages? Oh hell no! People should know better. I guess that I'll have to take off my belt." And then my pants fell to my ankles, people laughed and pointed, and so, I banned them all. Wishing them to the cornfield doesn't work any more.[/quote] Neither do carpet bans.[/quote] Proof? Seriously though, why is this even an argument? If you post in a rule-breaking thread, it's your fault. Entirely your fault. 100% your fault. If you think something is on the border of being rule-breaking, you have two options. 1) Don't post in that thread; nobody is making you. 2) Don't whine when you get banned for posting in a rule-breaking thread. Regardless of what you think of the rules and whether or not political/religious topics should be illegal or how fair you think it is that it's illegal to even reply to spam, you have no rights. If you get banned, it is your own fault and nobody else's.
