Quoted:The thread that got my proverbial goat was Paul’s lockdown of fluffy the Cats traveling through Colorado with mags over 15 rnds. A misdemeanor in that jurisdiction and a far cry from murder.

A misdemeanor if you're not protected by FOPA. That was a bullshit lock - the question of the legality of travelling through ban states was a perfectly valid one that's only going to get more important if things keep going.

Nobody has ever answered my question of whether most of the bans, timeouts etc. come from mods searching their forum or from someone pushing the report button.
Mostly reports
I am really surprised at that. I figured a very small percentage would be reports. I've been here off and on since the old board. I've hit the report button once and never have had anyone on ignore. Maybe we should get rid of those features.

Stopped reading the post where you said what people think is trolling is really just people expressing their opinion

Hope someone else under the age of 50 pointed this out to you, but that's just quality trolling.

Fact of the matter, the mods on this forum had no fucking idea what concerned trolling was a couple years back. You have to stay up on trends otherwise you get steam rolled.

Also keep in mind, there are agent provocateur's who literal job is to stir the pot and keep people divided and bickering.

There have been several reports by government agencies that Russian and Chinese and Korean infiltrators are on all kinds of internet web boards just to stir the pot.

It's some form of cyber war espionage or some shit.

When you think about it, it's a pretty secure and clever form of political weaponry to bring down a society from within.

Let me get this straight. You think that personal attacks on other members should be allowed?
Way back when I rode my dinosaur to school we used to have a saying, "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me - unless you manage to shove them up my ass - and I ain't going for that."....or something like that.

I don't really care what anybody calls me - just as long as they call me for vittles.
But did your vagina ever get hurt?

pcsutton, one of the best posters on the site IMO, pretty much lays it all out for the simple folk.  Stop being so sensitive.

All of that pretty much proves my point.

I bet 90% of the reports comes from 10% of the people.

The report function should be done away with and just let members use email if they see something egregious.

It’s not the case. At least not that I’ve seen.
I'm glad.  I deliberately worded my statement to only open the discussion without being accusatory.  After all, I don't see the reports and from whom.

I do, however, remember that _A certain member was known to deliberately bait members to lose their minds and end up violating CoC in responding.  He finally got his, as they eventually do, but he did leave damage in his wake.  I don't know if anyone got banned over him or not.

That's just one.  However, if I were in any position of authority, I'd want to take a look at how many people caught warnings, locks, or bans over our outright trolls or Shareblue/DU component.  Yeah, I know, that label is unproven.  However, at some point, trends and their results become characterization.

ETA: Added subnet to this in order to respond to both he and joker.
Also ETA:  Forgive me if I didn't communicate well, still on my first cup of coffee.
