BANNING FROM VILLAGES!?.who, why and when?


As some of you may or may not be aware a certain individual on here (DOCALI) got ?banned? from this village yesterday for reasons, I feel were justified, only because he was being pretty offensive to people in general?.but others feel he was not?..and that his comments should have been taken with a pinch of salt?.and not been taken seriously.

However, on reflection it made me think whether ANYONE should be banned at all?..and if they are banned?.who, why and when should one be banned?.because afterall this is the internet and should we really be taking this whole thing seriously?

so i wrote that comment without reading all the comments...man u guys really debated this issue...wats the issue to begin with? banning ppl for their wierdness?

ppl in general shouldnt be banned unless if they just start going below the belt...and yeah Docali was the devil's advocate...

but a question, once u get him back, who's gonna actually give him the attention? doesnt make sense if ur booted off once u shouldnt come back...just like the advice all of us gave to that other chick who got "two-timed" by a guy from naseeb. u do it once u can do it again so before u get the chance to do it again we say:

Goodbye, you are the weakest link!

damn...i zone out to do work for one day and already there are 132 comments on docali getting kicked out...hehe i cant beleive this....

first its cool that someone got booted offf only because he must have really pissed us off...with his wierd quirkiness

but i agree the damn sucker was annoying...was messing up the groove with his negativity....

How many times have I been saying this on Surveys....
Everyone here are VERY nice people, and I am sure if you all meet we would be friends....but we haven't, everyone here are Words behind a screen, NOTHIN AND NO ONE IS TANGIBLE.....
You are here you gotta be open minded and be able to take as much as you Give out, but then walk away from here and not take offense, and not let it effect your real life of course.
There are limits however to what you say...those are OBVIOUS....(robinhud) :-)
Come on we are all Grown here....most of us are in our 20's and 30's that means YOU ARE GROWN, so when you come on to a place like this you should carry yourself as Grown!

Yea, if anyone cruel, just called MI-5 or CIA and say they are terrorist. At least they will get some internet time from jail and can share more bitter stories with us.

i think everyone should vote - or anyone whpo wants to until tomorrow (Saturday) 12 noon EST/ 4pm GMT

then we can act on the votes

or are there any other ideas?

u people make too much conversation in this village. if i want to come read something about the journal, its all nonsense off topic discussion, that is why most of the 1100 people are silent. so anyone who does pointless chatter should get banned :D

mega - we never have 25 people on a je at any one time.. unlikely on any given day though; more like 3 - 8
 
Login to find out (July 29, 2005 at 1:36pm)
alright fine...it happened...sh*t happens..forget about it, lets not ban anyone anymore..just be honest with them, let them know how you feel and let it out...its all good. Now bring him back and anyone else in that matter who was banned and call it a day...

if not 25 then 10 will do as well. the point is it should not be a decision of couple of people.

MEGA...ur proposal...i'll second it...BUT MEGA there is only one issue.....i have with it......... i've never seen any one 25 people on here at the same time...so getting 25 people i think would be impractical.

I think those who have participated in the JE's with the 'trouble maker' should be the ones to collectatively/democratically decide if he/she should be banned.

i'm usually the first to put up my hand and say this is ONLY the internet so why take it so seriously or personal....and afterall IT IS only the internet....however, in all honesty i lost sight of that when DOC started making the kind of comments he did...yep they were offensive...but after reflection (ie chit chatting to IRF) i came to realise why let someone, who obviously has issues (and to be fair to DOC he was kinda 'pleasant' and 'comical' to begin with) get under ur skin so to speak.
