Yes or No. We need a Poll sub-forum to keep polls from destroying Our Town

[Fishman]

Fishman,

Please post proof of what you type. I haven't posted a poll since you initially started this flap with your Nazi ideas of what's acceptable. I predict you'll be banned too. You are trolling just by posting to me. I ask that you put me on your ignore list.

Well you are right, I can't prove that I ever really liked your polls even in moderation. I was just trying to make you feel better about yourself.

I don't have a big enough ego to even think that I started this and I'm wondering why you are making me out as some sort of boogieman. Nazi, lol. Kind of over the top, don't you think?

Keel haul the Pollsters! The whole scurvy lot of them!! Hang 'em from the yardarm and let the Mods pick their bones...

Fellers, we gotta lighten up a bit.

Yours in levity & purple colored gossamer wings,
Wt.

Will someone PLEASE put a stop to all this nonsense? It's clear to me that Wilco is intentionally trying to draw someone else in to violate the rules of conduct. He is willfully disrupting this forum. This has gone on far enough!

[montana_charlie]

Wilco, it appears to me that you are violating at least three of the TOS. Trolling, inflammatory, and arrogant appear to fit perfectly. You continue to post multiple polls after it was made clear in your own poll about that question that many users were tired of it. Then you state that you will still be here and a bunch of people are going to be banned. And you keep right on posting polls about nothing at all. I have to wonder about your motivation here.

I think he is trying to egg people who are tired of him into doing something to get themselves banned.
His claim that he will still be here after others are banned seems to support that suspicion.

His confidence in that outcome (him staying and others gone) stems from someplace.
Also, his belief that he can continue to 'troll and inflame' with impunity says something about his 'imperviousness' to correction.
I wonder who he thinks he has in his pocket.

It's a test, only a test, don't get too excited. lol

Where the heck are the mods?

Are you saying this is a set up, to see who will openly and willingly get defensive and violate TOS? So that the mods can assess whom may need the boot, because of their ability or lack of, to either continue the arguement or rather ignore it and move on. Interesting.

I believe in members working things out among themselves.
Therefore, I haven't pushed the 'whiner button'.

Its very obvious that the members are not going to work it out among themselves. Insults are already being thrown around from members on both sides.

Sure seems pretty quite on the Eastern Front!

I truly hope not, it is just meant as a joke.

I understand. This whole thing has been quite odd, I was kind of looking outside the box for some sense of reasoning , that's all.

[DLCTEX]

Put them in the pit!

Garbage in garbage out.

I wish I could get rid of EVERYTHING not related to shooting or casting on this forum. Look at the number of topics that actually have anything to do with shooting, casting or reloading, they seem to have gone down in numbers compared to the BS posts about everything else.

That is probably the sign of two things. When a forum gains steam and starts to grow in popularity it invariably draws in a wider demo...including younger/older and quiet/demonstrative posters. Some desire more attention than others, and 'Our Town' is getting more populous all the time I guess. It is free to register, so you have a bit of an open borders problem. I am sort of a newbie here after lots of lurking. Mostly feel at home...only a very few rude/pompous responses to my attempts at helpful comments or humor. There are pompous jerks everywhere though, so no surprise. You just hope they don't all go online at once to feel their oats.
And second, the way our nation has been twisted in recent years, I find it hard for the political topics/rhetoric/debates not to find their way into almost every conversation of any length. Real world and online. And this is nothing if not a polarized opinion block on this site. When the chaos of our times subsides and America is restored, so will the debates and political updates fall out of fashion. It may be a while though. A long while.

Baiting and trolling.

There are at least 3 reasons one can receive a perma-ban:
1) Spamming the board (spammers)
2) DEADBEAT
3) Frequent flyer in the infraction department

I gotta ask, is that a confession?

[starmac]

He has already stated he was trying to get some banned (the usual suspects) whatever that is. confession, you decide.

When I open Our Town and all I see is polls it makes it unreadable. I used to be able to scan the first page and see the days topics.
