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

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coolmike699 The only way to do that is to lock the threads before they gain traction. 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.
