Thunderdome Theory: Patnet is a CIA PSY-op studying how long it takes for 30 interenet idiots to form pure echo chambers.

My best guess, 3 more months and pat.net will effectively be 2 separate echo chamber'd forums. It'd be fun to see who has done the most banning, and also who has been banned the most. Pat, can we see this info, or no?

Yes, on the user's page you can already see the number of users who have banned that user:

https://patrick.net/users

Hmmm, the sorting doesn't work. I'll fix that, and I'll add the number of bans too.

Apocolypse fuck at 26, #aspirations

OK, the sorting is fixed:

https://patrick.net/users.php?ob=bannedby&d=desc

Now onward to get counts of how many other users each user is banning.

Dang, he's the least deserving to be banned.

Doesn't show who has banned who :)

Give me a little time...

There are two incarnations of Apocalypsefuck. See this page:

Now you can see who is banning the most users:

https://patrick.net/users.php?ob=banning&d=desc

Ban used to be "ignore" so the numbers most reflect who was ignoring other users before the function was renamed and modified to simply ban posting on the user's threads.

Onward to getting name lists...

I see Pinky the Pink Panther has banned me. he he he

Most people who are still around enjoy the disagreement and occasional 'heated' arguments, so I doubt it will devolve to 2 echo chambers. The only idiot that has gotten me to ban him did it by spamming threads with inane, repetitive, and nonsensical, bullshit and lots of pictures. Certain thread topics have gotten more productive since the ban function was implemented.

Yes, but those battles and street fights were fun too.

OK @FP I got it. Now on any userpage, you can see who has banned whom.

This is becoming very juvenile :)

CBOE is right that PatNet can be used for a phychological study.

Patrick, you should either analyze and publish the data (here's your advertisement) or sell it. So make sure you record all data that may be of interest.

At times, yeah. I like the option of Thunderdome for the slug fests and normal mode for more intelligent discussion.

Must be a bug. Says I'm banned by '1' but doesn't list any users.

Yes, that's a bug. Will fix now. Thanks for telling me.

20   Patrick   2017 May 9, 9:53am  

OK, fixed now, I hope.

Are you sure you don't mean charts...

23   fdhfoiehfeoi   2017 May 9, 11:20am  

I have an alternative take. I think this is what the whole internet would look like if people were allowed to be themselves. All that polished PC poo on other sites is the result of massive, heavy-handed editing and banning. If you want to live in la-la land go anywhere else. If you want reality, in all it's fucked up glory, come here.

Banning is a good thing. It prevents threads from devolving into poo throwing. PatNet needs more of its users to ban things.

CBOEtrader says

I beat you to the prediction of PatNet being partitioned.

Dan8267 says

Of course, it will split PatNet into two communities, one being a right-wing masturbation fest, and the other being everybody else, but that's a good thing.

However, you are wrong about there being two echo chambers. There will only be one, the right wing partition. Both sides are not the same. It's the right wing versus everyone else. It's crazy versus sane. This reflects the difference between the two major parties. The Republicans are batshit crazy assholes. The Democrats are everyone else, and usually don't agree on anything but the Republicans being batshit crazy assholes. PatNet is a microcosm of the United States.
