Just make a bunch of mod puppets and stage the conversations you feel SHOULD be in the fora. Problem solved.
Enlil you really do have some great points, I think your being trolled by the mods and members because they can't understand how great of an idea it is, it makes sense and is practical. Sorry your causing a uproar of butt hurting. I say you message yathin with your opinions as he seems to have a head on his shoulders unlike most here.

One word: Bias.
All humans, including judges and moderators have bias.
So does magnetic tape, but that's entirely different
This is why, as long as moderators are humans, it would be wise to keep a very clear set of guidelines about when they can and can't use a banstick. The word "trolling" is vague and subjective enough to allow one's bias to rear its ugly head.
In this very thread, you engaged in trolling when you falsely attributed a position to me and advocated for that position even though you were not expressing your sincere opinion. Should you have been disciplined for that? I think not. I don't see why others should be either.

So every post?
Do you remember that "shooting the rooster" thread I made? Totally not a troll thread but members on this site trolled the fuck out of it causing it to be closed. Its not one sided at all it takes 2 even if the other member did it unintentionally the other person is a cytlast for the trolling.

Cuz we all post to never get a response....
How about this, we just don't be mean to one another? Really is this kindergarten? Ban the folks that aren't contributing to the community.
Seem's pretty cut and dry to me...
But again, I'm a noob.

Also the site should close admission to the site for a year or so.

Yup.
Trolling is not always malicious. Besides, you'd need to know a person's intent. Did they post with the intent of making people upset? That is really hard to determine.
It is listed as Flaming/Trolling in the Ban o Matic. Most of the time people are given points for flaming an individual, but making racist/sexist/homophobic comments that lump a group of people together in a negative way, can be considered the type of trolling that could get one in trouble.
Otherwise, banning people for trolling is kinda' unfair IMO. Everybody trolls.

I posted in that thread and you ignored me for it, even though all I did was share a true story that actually happened to me that was somewhat similar to the OP, and you said I was trolling.
Oh well, I guess you just get butthurt easily.

I largely agree with enlil, however, we're talking about one small subforum on a very large site. Deciding to heavily regulate and even censor the speech on a single subforum seems reasonable to me. We're not talking about sitewide policies. We're just talking about the pub. Why not have one highly regulated subforum? If you really want to go beyond what is allowed in the pub, you can always use any of the other forums including the user created forums.
Yes, there are issues of bias and vagueness regarding the definition of trolling. But, that's why trolling works, because of the vagueness involved in defining trolling. Anyone accused of trolling who is trolling is going to deny it. That virtually requires the mods and admins to make some decisions based on how they subjectively feel about the situation.
I don't think permabans should be given, though. I think the standard response should be to ban people from the pub specifically. If you can't handle being banned from the pub for a while then you really need to leave the house and find something to do with your life.
Being banned from one subforum of one internet forum for a temporary amount of time is not the end of the world.
Having said all that, I'm still in favor of killing rule 4.

The vast majority of our permabans are given to people who make illegal or spam posts. Many members do not realize this.
Permabans for long time members are few and far between, and even then, they are almost always lifted eventually.
