    Threadbanning

    Since I have been back, I've noticed members being threadbanned at OP request. Can an OP do that for any reason?

    Seemingly.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    That was the original conception.

    I did read that before posting, trying to find the answer. But it's not clear that that is the intention of the rule.

    I am not complaining, but just curious.

    If someone thread banned me from their thread, I would never visit anything that person started again. It doesn't seem like a good way to make friends or promote activity.

    Sounds like a polite, diplomatic way of saying that it's a dick move.

    Which of course it is.

    I use it to maintain the integrity of my threads. I don't want my threads being hijacked by haters or people who want to drag it off topic, being rude or obnoxious, or just plain trolling.

    It's a way of dealing with trolls. The place is overrun by them and a "tpf thread" as they're called is the only way to police them. Management allows them to run wild and pretty much do what they want. It's a good rule if you want to have a serious discussion. It's sad, but necessary.

    I've never understood that function in that area of the board, and don't pay much attention to it. It seems to be a favorite place for liberals to lose their $#@! for festering grievances they have with others. So what's new?

    I use it when I want a thread I post to be discussed seriously. I would never tb someone just for disagreeing with me. I will tb them in a heart beat if they resort to name calling, off topic post or trolling. I usually try to put out a warning as well before I tb someone.
