There is a 10/22 and a box of CCI mini mags by the hampster wheel server farm.
Dealing with problem children causing damage like you are suggesting is pretty easy. just a few clicks and let staff deal. |

Mods do warn people to calm down before threads get locked. Also editing picture threads multiple times so they didn't get locked. Rarely threads get unlocked, so therefore paused.

So I was wondering if, and when a discussion is rapidly deteriorating into a member fucking up permanently, would the possibility of a pause button on that discussion be possible. No bans, locks, warnings just a mention of the fact that certain people are entering the danger zone and pausing the discussion for a period of time. We often do tell people who are misbehaving to knock it off. If someone in a position of responsibility for enforcing the rules telling you "Continuing this behavior is a bad idea" isn't enough to make you stop, then I doubt a temporary thread lock would be of much use either. Temporary bans are a pretty rarely used measure and in every instance I'm aware of have happened after a bunch of interaction prior to that. In other words, nobody gets banned for getting hot under the collar once. Bans come as a result of patterns of behavior or posting scat porn and dick pics. |

Most of the time the stuff that gets reported isn't breaking any rules so doing nothing is all that is required. Sometimes it's something we can calm down with a public post or two. Sometimes the thread is FUBAR and we have to lock it. Sometimes it's just one person being a dick and we issue a warning...or if they have a demonstrated history of this behavior that's been documented, a staffer locks 'em. Sometimes it's dick pics and I get to use my ban button and say funny things in the blue text. Requesting a thread "pause" wouldn't really be any different than the current report system. It would be asking for a temporary lock on the thread because people are misbehaving...and I don't see that being workable. |

How far off am I? In my experience: If you get a warning, you get an im, and perhaps some discussion ensues, with an immediate resolution. An account lock, you get a pop-up, an explanation of what you've done, and the length of the lock, along with the offer to discuss w/ Sr staff and/ or the mod/staff who locked you if you think you've been wronged. Trust me, if you get locked, staff and mods will be most helpful in explaining what went wrong. And pretty much, they will be right. How records are kept, I don't know. Most thread locks I've seen are instant and permanent, although pit threads and EE feedback threads get temporary locks at times to allow people to respond or get caught up. No need for a pause button when they've got on/off.

You went completely in another direction with that than I had intended. I was speaking of the little popup window that blacks out the screen and won't go away until you access and read the instant message that's waiting for you. What happens when you get a warning/lock/etc is something for another thread

the closest i've seen to a pause.
would be when a mod steps into a thread and tells people to knocked it off. the lock usually happens a page or two later. i think a lot of people see that "knock it off" as the yellow speed up light. kinda get your punches in before the final bell. |
