Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

FWIW, it appears that the first place I would try if the Phoenix and WX were both down seems to be unaffected.
In this instance, although I agree with the point in the event of future problems, I would like to not send an additional note to her because it just continues the attention loop.
I didn't see that. What happened?
He pretty much said, "I don't want to upset anyone, and I'm not looking for a way to sneak back in, but can someone tell me why the board is down?"
We can ban people from posting on WX, but I don't think we have that option on PF.
He just asked what had happened to the Phoenix (as far as I saw, I don't know if he went over to NAFDA). I didn't think it was a big deal. Had he joined in the discussion, I would've had a problem.
I disagree, Trudy. We should correct the wording for any future warnings, but Zoe's posting of insults and threats in People's Forums clearly indicates that she's not willing to abide by community standards. I don't think we need to communicate with her any further.
Can we actually enforce a ban beyond the borders of buffistas.org? With no teeth, a ban is unpointy.
We can at WX, right? I know you can ban users. As far as PF goes, Lance is a pretty cool guy and has done a lot of stuff for us to make us feel at contingency home over there (like putting our animated Stors up).
Personally, I feel at this point that we owe her nothing, and I have no problem with trying to get her at least kicked out of our forums on PF.
I have no problem with him asking that question in that way. I agree that someone who we've banned joining the discussion (or, like Zoe, using a different folder as a personal playground) is a different thing.
Laura, ignoring her just made it worse, in this case.
Because when we were at PF, she was ignored, thanks to the blessed ENUF filter, and she just posted more and more and more. It made her worse when she came back here, too.
Attention, no attention--it didn't matter what we did. She just went into full-on SpamTroll mode.
And how glad am I that I don't post under my real name?
So. Very. Glad.
And, of course, she spelled my username wrong. Again. On purpose, the bitch.
I know we're not supposed to, but I'm allowing myself to speculate on her mental capacity. I promise not to do so publicly.
