OOT Containment Thread for very bad posters - Page 326 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I know everyone here from the old days is thinking about the you know who saga in the back of their minds. I don't follow the thread really but I do just enough to vote(again) for a mercy perma ban.

Personally I'd let her continue posting, contained, in OOT, but I seem to have a higher tolerance than most of you for her shenanigans.

Agreed

Treat her like any other poster and let her post in throughout OOT. Most of her posts would be fine in their appropriate threads. If people follow her around and troll her when she makes normal posts, then temp them. If she starts making a thread all about her, or starts blogging in the ****Monthly**** then temp her. If she gets temp'd a few times, then exile her. If people like her personal drama, then let her continue to blog in the bad posting thread; otherwise, let her do that in House of Blogs or her H&F log and temp/exile her if she does it anywhere in OOT.

I actually think this sounds terrible, particularly for the mods, but whatever.

I don't see how anyone could suggest she be treated like just another poster when she's consistently proven she's anything but. It would take her less than a day to get temped or banned from OOT for dragging her constant drama into another thread(s).

Contain her, ban from OOT, or straight ban, whatever, but OOT is basically my favorite place on 2p2 at this point and the idea of her tarding up multiple threads as an experiment we already know will fail just seems asinine to me.

In the mean time, here is the Strut TR I promised. It rained most of the time lol...can't move or fix anything now without expecting to do it in a thunderstorm.

So this morning I step on the scale expecting to see 165. I see 158. That can't be right.. pick up the scale, put it back down, step on it again, 165. Thought of this thread.

Wtf is this nonsense?
Are you just brushing aside her past 2 years worth of posts? She doesn't get treated like any other poster because she doesn't behave like any other poster.

You seem to think if you just give her one more chance she's going to magically become a model citizen and blend right in without causing another problem. I guess your are either unaware, or just choose to ignore how many chances shes already been given.

The fact is, she is bad for OOT and OOT is bad for her. Neither party provides any positive value whatsoever to the other.

Where did I say I think she'll be a model poster if she gets one more chance? I said treat her like any other poster and ban/exile her if she's disruptive instead of giving her special treatment and her very own thread.

It's one last chance before exile/banned, it's a Bobby Knight situation.

If Larry is going to tempban her for bad posting in this thread anyway, then Gregorio's proposal makes a lot of sense.

Give her one last chance to meet OOT's standards, or exile her.

However my argument is, she's had 2+ years of being terrible already. Why isn't that enough to ban her?
People can call it a mercy ban, or say its for her own good, or whatever makes them feel better about it, but this place is better without her antics.

Then the Containment Thread becomes purposeless.
