The best victories are the ones the other side didn't expect.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

I thought that the community was in charge of bans (aka, NINJAS). This courtroomish idea seems a bit over the top for a web forum.

It would be a witch hunt with public executions.

That really happened? Wow. What did you do?
Nothing. Posted like normal. Ignored it for the most part. Eventually it went away. I don't know if a mod did something or they just got bored. But it stopped so... eh.

The forums would be as active as Antarctica.

If this were to be true, no one would post... everyone would be banned because "the community" didn't like what that person said...

I am a Floodian

As neat as I would find that concept I think that there are some serious logistical problems:
- It requires that we create a system for what would become court proceedings
- It would be very difficult to get people to serve on the jury.
- Jury Tampering would be too goddamn easy and impossible to stop
- If you have a system with a judge and a jury, then eventually you're going to have lawyers. Do we want lawyers, much less lawyers who are just people from the community?

No. Just no. This is BUNGIE's site, not OURs. We play by their rules.
I... I don't even know what to do with this post

It would be a "Last Ban Standing" situation...

Chicken go cluck cluck cow go moo

If we were able to do that, more innocents would be banned, most users won't care if another user is banned, so most would vote yes just for the lulz

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Oooooo this sounds fun!

If people don't like the idea of the community picking a forum ninja I really don't think people would like thid idea.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

The idea itself is stupid and simply would not happen.
Would be sort of interesting to see people try and stop or increase the madness. A very large group of members all voting one way or another could save or doom the site if that decision went through.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

What, set up some Kangaroo Court some something that trivial?

I like it.

And yet another terribad idea of putting power into the hands of the masses.

Your mother is a very handsome man.

You would probably be banned just for having an unpopular opinion.

Probably wouldn't be that bad, most of the time. And obviously it would get abused from time to time. But as it stands the current system isn't that bad.

No, because people create trends.

If they wanted to ban Ken, he'd be gone, not because he's a bad person (which he's not), but because that's his reputation. It's a trend.

All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

So what will it be? Death? Or exile?

I just realized that situation pretty much copies the 'Where did Bungie Come from' joke. Huh.
