SF "Lottery"

[CTGuy]

With all this talk of the douchebag contest lately-- I figure we should just have a "lottery" of sorts where we just ban someone because...now seems like a good time to ban someone. It will make for interesting conversation and hopefully the quality of posts will improve after we sacrifice a troll to the banning gods.

What do people think?

The only question in my mind is whether the biggest douche will come back and preside over the festivities.

I have to say that would be pretty amazing.

So that the mob could rule? I say no to that. Let free speech reign. The dictatorship of the mods is enough for me. No need to add the mob to that dictatorship.

I think the proper term--if someone is to be exiled by popular vote--would be "ostracism" (or maybe "attainder"). "Lottery" implies a game of chance, which I don't think is meant here.

I know of no-one in SF who achieved the level of tendentious obnoxiousness achieved by "Cruiser" over in Andyland in the recent past. Him I certainly would have voted to ostracize.

No, no, I WOULD be in favor of some element of chance (as you will see in my reference to wikipedia). Although ostracism might be cool too-- I would create a list of Douche's and then we pull a name out of a hat and BANNED!

Cruiser, that bane of sartorialism.

I don't see the point. We don't have a large unruly community. If someone bothers you that much, click their username->View User Profile->Add Username to Your Ignore list.

Unless we all are like RJMan and everytime the person we are ignoring posts, write underneath "Man I love that ignore function" or something along those lines lol.... that always makes me laugh!

Does that also block their posts, or just PM?

So catty, sans furry costume.

The only thing I have to say at this time is that any contest that encourages "campaigning" will have to be shut down.

Finally, a lottery I could win. I'd probably be a shoe-in for Shirley Jackson's lottery, too.

This is asinine.
