Personally, I say don't ban people. If someone starts bumping old threads, I say just move the threads someplace else. If no one responds to them, then delete them. I know that's a little more complicated than pressing the ban button though.
Seriously, I'm not complaining about you guys this time.  I just can't believe that enough people have bitched about something so trivial that they've made the mods feel like there's no other choice than to ban those responsible. |
That creates unnecessary work... I've deleted posts in the past when someone bumps a thread or two, in order to send it back into oblivion, but we aren't going to sit here and babysit someone who is bumping old threads. If it's a matter of bumping a thread like "last post wins," then sure, we can just lock it or move it to another forum... but, the bans aren't for single thread bumps.
If someone has already bumped 3 or 4 threads, you think we should sit here and deal with each thread until they decide to stop? It doesn't annoy me as much as it does others, since there are plenty of other threads I never click on, but I also don't want to log in and see 10 old threads that were bumped for the LOLs, or deal with taking each one off the front page.
And if someone is begging to be banned, we try to accommodate... we're very reasonable in that way.
