Bring back the Carpet Ban

These kids have it so easy these days, talking like a bunch of jerks, without a worry in the world. The fear needs to be put back in to OffTopic. I hate when I come to this website and 95% of the front page is taken up by OffTopic threads. It's not fair, and other forums should be on the front page more. The amount of trolls has become unbearable. With everyone having at least 16 alternate accounts, you can see that the mute feature has had no effect at all, is terrible, and the webteam should feel bad. The overwhelming volume of flames and spam needs to be contained. Carpet bans and nuked threads are the cure. If you haven't figured out this is completely sarcastic yet, take a lap.

  • I end up muting people who do not provide any form of discussion. My mute list is pretty damn large, but mostly from alts I've muted and reported.

  • I agree hard wood is much note classy than carpet.

  • Use the phone app. Once muted you never see any of their threads or remarks. This place is awesome once you get a healthy mute list when viewed on the app.

  • Kind of a strange parody that doesn't makes sense.

  • You must have gotten some bad burns to want to ban carpets. I love carpet especially in the morning. It is much better than walking over a cold tile/hardwood floor. You like walking on cold floors OP?!? Do you?!?

    • Our revised toolset as well as the directions/marching orders from our management do not allow for or permit that form of widespread and indiscriminate banning. As I remember, back when that was an option on the table, whenever it was used, the outcry and bitching over "unfairness, inconsistency, bias and arbitrary nature" of carpet bans was deafening. Mostly "but I was telling them to stop!" or "I only posted report and move on"...... People complained, were heard, were listened to, and changes were made in response to the complaints. Which leaves us where we are.

        • I particularly like how "being a dick" is on the "things that suck" section, but yet everyone is a dick and there are no consequences. Basically, you have to post pornographic or malicious links in order to get banned. Anything else is fair game. Sad.

          • Because Off topic is by far the most popular forum everyone in it should get banned? That makes sense. And you could just stay in whatever forum you want to post in instead of all topics.

            Oh goodness, if they do that now, it's gonna be collateral damage everywhere! Do you think that would be wise?
