    Should Thread Bans be Time Bounded?

    Thread bans are a useful tool for disrupting thread fights and rules violations. Once one or two thread bans have been imposed most threads die. Shouldn't we want threads to live?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    I just got thread banned from something I posted in late March where the thread died!


    I confess I violated the Rules so it was legit in that sense, but seriously?

    We have hundreds of people but only seven took this poll.

    Moderators, what do you think? Is it time to experiment?

    I think, mods should not TB someone, 25 pages later, if it isn't caught within a day or two, it's too late......I was TB'd on page 25, for something
    I said on page 2 ...... The thread had already pretty much died out.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I’ve been TB’d for a comment made weeks before it happened.

    You have to think that someone was combing threads to find reasons to report/TB you.
