Not aimed at anyone specifically, just a general feeling I get from looking around ALL the forums...

What is it with all theses "BAN HIM NOW!" posts?

What right do you have to say "I want him banned, he's annoying me!". Er, excuse me, but is it up to you? No.

What makes it ok for you to say "Ban him, he's annoying me"? I'm annoyed at these posts, so can I get you banned for annoying me?

But no doubt I anny some of you, so then I'd get banned.

Pretty soon there'd be no one left!

All I'm saying is, there is a REPORT THIS POST link, use that instead.

Please?

I hate banning people.

YH shouldn't be banned.
Why was Nick1 banned?

I remember when GamesGuru insulted me, back when I was a newbie, but I didn't report him. I couldn't be bothered.

That was on the third day I'd been on the forums, I remember that clearly.

Haven't seen him around ever since, though.

That would make more sense.

It would because otherwise they would have to change the already existing report topic and then you'd have to put a reason why! More complicated I think.

I suppose yes or what could happen is that the SR Staff could put something on that would stop you going on anything but the reporting forum.

The E-mail things good but wouldn't that have to mean the reporting button would have to become an e-mail service and the Reporting forum world be an inbox.

Good idea. But would the forum be run on an e-mail submission basis other wise the banned user would have to register another name and identify themselves as the previously banned user and risk getting banned again.
