Also @WookieMan : note that moderators can now ban users from commenting in their topic for 24 hours.
Just go to their user page (click on their icon or name) and the ban link is at top. Let me know if it doesn't work.
Thanks for the suggestion, Goran.

I really don't want to use the feature but it's a necessary part of keeping things clean. Thanks for all the hard work Patrick.
No, it’s not. Patrick could simply ban the obvious trolls like CiC, but he doesn’t. That individual has done more than anyone to bring this site to its knees and yet Patrick just lets him roll back in, instead going down this path... in the process driving away two of the more interesting posters (what’s that, about 10% of the total regular posters?). He’s shooting himself in the foot once again. Things are just getting worse now with you trying to usurp more and more power. People will be up in arms for a while and then will simply drift away. You’ll be left with a small handful of right wingers posting fact free praise of your supposed great leader. And CiC will be long gone.
Can someone tell me what CiC means or stands for?
And it stands for call it crazy if I remember correctly, not that it matters a damn.Thanks. Barely remember that guy. Him and Renting for half the cost used to be great allies I believe.
You know what’s awesome about the new system? I’ll never be able to defend deleting a comment or banning anyone if a personal attack is not involved. It’s a pretty neat system.

Maybe that’s what has the leftists so up in arms. There’s an actual standard and the bar can’t be moved without it being noticeable.
Errc was just making a point.

Errc was being vulgar, obnoxious, and rude. There are rules against uncivility around here and he broke them.

Apparently that doesn’t stretch to libtard comments, racism, etc., etc.

You can use the word libtard all you want as long as it’s not directed at someone personally.
Ok:
“Libtards are ruining the country.”
Not ok:
“You are a clueless fucking Libtard.”

While ‘you libtards’ or anything along those lines is perfectly acceptable, because err, well fuck I don’t know.

Pretty much every post ever made by TPB for starters.

Patrick allowed a few posters to be so beyond rude and disruptive that it’s ridiculous to ask that all of a sudden, everyone else change course.

Maybe Patrick now wants a site where people are NOT vulgar, rude, and obnoxious.
I could be wrong about the vulgar part.
@patrick Do you consider vulgarity uncivil?
I do.

So the actual problem isn’t the policy, it’s that you don’t understand the policy.
Or more accurately you’re plying at being obtuse because you think it makes a point(it doesn’t)

No, because the “rules” are not remotely applied even-handedly. The mere fact that you’ve popped up to chip in pretty much underscores my point given your posting history.
patrick Do you consider vulgarity uncivil?
Not necessarily. Vulgarity can be good natured. Consider AF. Usually vulgar, but rarely if ever uncivil.

He is a good barbarian. I like him.

I agree. He's opposite of me on the political spectrum, but he is by far the funniest poster on Patrick.net.
I see quite a few have him(her?) on ignore, and I think they are missing out.

So far I think the new rules are working. The deleting of personal attacks seems to be working a lot better than “uncivil”.
However certain members are still having a hard time understanding the new rule. I’ve had to delete 5 straight personal attacks from errrc.
Should we institute a 24 hour ban for repeated offenses? Like being deleted 3-4 times and warned with no improvement?
