If we're going to have another 2000 post thread, it may as well be here.

Would this whole DotY vote have the same "importance" had Hootie not been banned?

And Zach, you do have a point, but it isn't like the mods and selected members are running through the CP streets like the gestapo, banning people on a weekly basis just because they can. This vote was done in good nature, at least that was my impression.

I haven't sparred with Iowanian for a long time.

And the milkman battles are rare, and frankly, always instigated by him.

Well, I think this board is a changin' and I think this is pretty harmless. I don't however, think that this particular deal we have going on is wrong. I think it's entertaining. It's a few days for the biggest douches of this website as voted on by the people.

No big deal. I am not trying to get you banned...I don't hate you but it is who you are on this board. I think my point still stands.

I'm a prick to the pricks. Never denied it. It's what I do.

You're one of the biggest asshats on here. I bet you have a horrible life, constantly berated and emasculated by your bitch wife, your sisters and a female boss. This is the only part of your day that makes you feel like a man, being spiteful to people on an internet BB. You go boy....

Everyone knows I laugh at bans. Please.

I am not saying it is a huge deal.

But I am saying it is wrong.

The big defense of it seems to be that "the bans are only temporary" when I don't like that matters much because it is simply wrong.

I am not alone in this.

Was the vote of the mods to do this unanimous?

Well, at least in my case you're left with stupid assumptions. We already know what a disaster your life is, because you've told us.

not at all my point. the point I was attempting to make is that there's no debating that you're polarizing, whether it's with trolls or those who are 'valuable to the community.' I have nothing against you, obviously. but it is what it is.

This is my first major controversy as a moderator of this board, and it may be my last. It's an experiment, and in my eyes, there isn't anyone in that final 4 that I'm going to bleed for. So, if the people think this is a good idea, they'll vote. If they don't, they won't, and I couldn't see us doing it again next year.

But I still personally think it's a fantastic idea. If someone really can't live without posting here for a few days, they should seek professional help. It's not like anyone is being permabanned over it.

Flops it would be different if it was just a couple of days but if I am reading it right you get a day per vote. So in effect they could be gone for 2-3 weeks which may piss them off enough to never come back. I don't think that is good thing with any of the remaining candidates.

Rarely do the mods vote unanimously. I think that's what makes our team a good one. A lot of different people with different ideas. In this case though, I think DaFace was our sole dissenter.

Well, the day you see me randomly blasting people like Guru or Rainman, then I'll be concerned.
