Should anyone use the Banhammer?

[Naiwen]

I don't think so, because it's jut not fair and a person's basic "freedom of speech" is being taken away.

Well usually the banhammer comes into effect with spammers, trolls etc. I think staff should on have that authority.

In life, just like on forums, there are rules you have to follow. You break the rules, then a fair thing to do would be to remind that person of the rules. They keep breaking the rules, after a warning, perhaps a nice Admin (like me) would try again to remind a person of the rules. The third time, it's a "three strikes and you're out" and the ban hammer happens. Contrary to your belief of "freedom of speech", a person does not have the right to upset, stalk, flame or troll others.

Still going on about that freedom of speech thing?

...It doesn't exist on forums. Trolls and spammers don't have the "free speech" on a forum to terrorize the members and post advertisements all over the place, for example.

yeah they do and they should. Otherwise, if you considered everything "trolling and terrorizing members", how else did you get a dedicated member base of 900 (that contribute to the forums) and up?

Because it's "freedom of speech" no and we're in "free thinking countries..."? So much for freedom of speech, then.

I never banned anyone for having an opinion in my lifetime as a moderator and admin.

Basically. Glad you understand.

Then why do you fight for it? It's rather illogical to me... I don't get it, you in the West fight for something that doesn't exist...for real and promote it as: "the best thing ever in the world..."

Forums aren't a democracy and forums aren't a civil right.

Freedom of speech DOES exist on forums, in the same way it exists in real life. You can say whatever you want, but there could be consequences brought forward if you say something that breaks the rules.

Then why don't the banhammer and the rules thing sound like " freedom of speech" to me?

*sigh* I feel like we've beat this issue into the ground several times in several topics.

no, I understand it perfectly well... you can't apply it so fully on a forum, so it doesn't exist.

If you understand that it doesn't apply to forums, why are you going on about how people should be able to do/say whatever malicious things they want on forums?
