I don't get it. First you complain about OTD and these people who post there, and then you go onto proclaim what OTD does and does not need. It sounds like perhaps it isn't a forum for you, so why would you concern yourself with whether or not there are puppets there?

He's just trolling me, in a forum where such activities are prohibited.
Can you please take appropriate action.

See above post, there's no point me clicking the report post button as you're right here.
I wanted constructive criticism, not trolling and veiled flames.

Oh god no I cannot. 
I'm only the moderator of the Philosophy and Spirituality forum. If there was an opportunity that posed a considerable threat to this website or a member, then I'd take action, but this simply isn't my forum to moderate. I can contact someone else on the staff who does reside over this forum if you like, however.

I'd love to help you out with this but its just not my forum. I can offer my uber-experienced perspective on the matter, though, which probably isn't worth much.
I really dig the forum rules for P&S. Discussion there is idea-orientated, and we specifically express that discussion is open for direct, full-fledged criticism if it is necessary, but that all of our linguistic expertise be directed agansit the ideas that another is presenting, not the poster themself. It disrupts the on-topic discussion to focus on the perceived personal characteristics of the other poster, and it ultimately leads to trouble, as it is not a view that can be substantiated.
This isn't P&S but it is a shame to see an idea-orientated discussion be disrupted in such a manner, to the point that I personally begin rambling on about this and that, which is a tragedy.

One of the crucial aspects of this proposal would be that a ban would require a vast majority of the votes, likely a minimum amount of votes as well. Such an action would not be "forming a club", it would ultimately be an entire forum stating "you are disrupting our forum consistently and it is ruining the experience of discussion in our forum". If you've managed to piss off 90% of regular posters in a forum, to the point that they still want you out after a certain amount of time, then I think it should be pretty clear that the person is not contributing to the forum in any manner that the forum benefits from; thus, their presence is a detriment.
I don't think it is about trolling; I think it is about taking action to prevent trolls from trolling.

whooops (reply to hanky)
lets just take a look back at the last few threads you've made.
Would you vote to ban KoTT from OTD for a week? http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6568954/an/0/page/0/gonew/1#UNREAD
I love peeing on toadie http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6567957/an/0/page/0
pics of rahie (which is you putting dude's head on gay porn) http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6565658/an/0/page/1
Rahie is a faggot http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6564017/an/0/page/4
poll time (is rahie a fucking idiot?) <- poll question http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6556219/an/0/page/6
now i just clicked back the first pages of otd to find those. why should anyone believe you wouldnt exploit this new "idea" of yours and use it in tandem with trolling? your post history would lead any normal person to belive this "idea" has nefarious intent.

He didn't say you were flaming anyone, he accused you of trolling, which is a topic that only came up when you took an idea expressed by Hanky and turned it into a personalism exchange, making statements about his personal nature and character.
You assert that my status as a moderator is the only reason I would agree with him but its just a baseless notion, perhaps an attempt to misrepresent the situation. This proposal, the last I checked, had a great majority of support in the forum which it pertains to. The OTD forum is unique in that the fact that there are essentially no rules implies that if an individual is consistently irritating and disrupting the forum, there is no way to prevent them from doing so further, unlike every other forum on this website.
You can question the intentions and character of the individual who proposed the idea for discussion all you like but if a vast majority of the participants in the pertinent forum think it is an idea that they wish were implemented, then you're really just in the minority and pulling out all the stops.

What's your point? Sounds like standard OTD-style discussion to me. If you do not get that, and the vast majority of these individuals who frequent OTD do, then the primary cause behind such a proposal and its support should be quite evident. Quite evident indeed.

It's a vindictive idea, simple as that. This guy is trying to make the admins look like fools implementing such a foolish and un-nescessary measure. Just what I'd expect from the author.

I just reviewed the "Would you vote to ban KoTT from OTD for a week?" thread. All it is is that question, as a poll. That is trolling? It looks like he is simply looking for an opinion to me. I'm not sure if you do not care for it because it involves you in some manner, but I know that, if he were to create a similar poll asking about me, not only would a lot of people in OTD vote yes, but I wouldn't care. I've probably annoyed them a lot, and if the vast majority doesn't want me there, then why should I be there? To troll them?

You quoted that as though it was what I stated, yet it was in italics and in parentheses, representing the statement that would be implied by those voting to ban someone from the forum. Your ridicule of typical OTD discussion indicates that perhaps it is not the forum for you.

You know what? Its OTD. Not this entire website. OTD obviously is very distinct when compared to any other forum on this website. Why should OTD be equal opportunity when it was a forum specifically altered to accomodate a select few? A few people go in and troll them and they have no recourse. If the vast majority is consistently irritated by someone, over time, then they really don't have a place in that forum to begin with. Most of them have that person on ignore and they simply want the person out entirely so that the threads that the person was posting in is less confusing.
