Pack has added a feature that gives a thread author the ability to mini-mod their own threads.....a feature very close to what you lobbied for. Now, fearful that you're obscure, one-line, aphorisms will be blocked from seeing the light of day......you've decided to shed your bullshit tears on the forums.

In Greek mythology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology), Priapos (Ancient Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek): Πρίαπος), Latinized as Priapus, was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock), fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genitalia). His Roman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_mythology) equivalent was Mutunus Tutunus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutunus_Tutunus). He was best noted for his huge, permanent erection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erection), which gave rise to the medical term priapism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism).

the postbanning is not up to mods/admins, however.
If there's a troublemaker who does nothing but derail threads and incite flame wars (possibly me lol), and you want to have a serious discussion...do you really want to have to sift through 10+ pages of utter nonsense and infighting just to get to the few posts that are actually relevant?

I used the ignore as a means to send a message, hence that was a form of "speech". I've since thought about it, and I am not certain that I did the right thing.
I could easily have just RL ignored him. The ignore button was a crutch for not having to deal with something that made me extremely uncomfortable. I think that Pack is right on that communities have a right to expel members, but I am not sure if this is how it would be done "in the wild."
The native American Oglala nation (granted tribal, not anarchistic) would bring the matter before the entire tribe. If they were broken with their tribe they were asked to leave with their ponies.
Putting someone on ignore means that you own that thread solely and completely; that your ideas are not communal in nature, but for your own pleasure alone. That's wanking.

Excactly. If you can't handle any opposing views or confrontations, you might as well go sit in a corner and talk to yourself. That way you'll probably get the nice, cuddly answers you're looking for. And everyone has this big ignore button between their ears they can use... It's not like you HAVE to respond to baiting and trolling.
My problem with this is that this ignore function should be called what it is. Censorship. Any other term is a lie.

Excactly. If you can't handle any opposing views or confrontations, you might as well go sit in a corner and talk to yourself. That way you'll probably get the nice, cuddly answers you're looking for. And everyone has this big ignore button between their ears they can use... It's not like you HAVE to respond to baiting and trolling.
My problem with this is that this ignore function should be called what it is. Censorship. Any other term is a lie.
There. I have said my piece about this, and now I am just gonna ignore the damn ignore button.
You can always go join the other 'censored' people over at HM...
We censored Chorlton by not removing Snow's posts... (still confused on that one)
And of course BE thinks everythign is censorship.

Again, I don't think it's censorship. Just something that I didn't feel good about. However, I am not so grandiose in my self-opinion that i feel that I am right or others should feel the same way.
It wasn't right for me. TT, it is not right for you, so don't do it. History will decide what was best, even if it doesn't always come to terms with what is right.
In other words, I guess I feel that you should ignore if you feel you have to, don't ignore if you don't.

Well...but say you started a thread on hacking and had Pack on "ignore"...I might want to hear what Pack says contextually in the thread. Now, if a thread is solely about "you" and what you want to say, then fine. If it is about people discussing and learning then what if other people want to have that particular point of view within the context of the thread?
I ignored Guy because he was being a racist asshole. I took him off ignore because I realized that I could just as easily ignore him without that feature.
That is my personal choice, and the subject is kinda fuzzy to me still.

OK, just one last comment. This ignore function goes against what I thought was the core philosophy of AmKon, that's all. I was obviously mistaken. Or the philosophy has changed and been replaced with something entirely else.
Oh, well, life is change. Shrug. You ignore fans just do as you please.

I agree, but...you are making the choice for other people that they don't want to listen when you start a thread and have someone on ignore.
This means, per my other example, that if you started a thread on white hat hacking and had Pack on ignore that any valuable contributions he may have had that I could have learned from would be excluded.
It's not a question of censorship, because Pack could start his own thread. it's more an issue of the way the ignore feature works. If you want to ignore someone...great. But when you use "ignore" you are in a sense forcing other people to agree with you...at least on your own threads.
Now, is this right or wrong? I don't know. I haven't seen it play out enough to know if its right, wrong, productive, or destructive.
I stated my personal views on ignore.

We had a turnover in administers and a mediocre thinker was allowed into a position of authority. He never understood the principle of free expression that Amkon was evolving towards. And so the site has devolved into its current state of ear-fingering.:lalala:
