Apparently you missed the thread Mixum created yesterday where several posters answered seriously to a question Mixum proposed only to be attacked by Mixum because he didn't like the answers. You can't reason with people like that.
I was a mod at another bball forum way back. We had a member similar to this guy, but probably worse. Anyway, we decided to put him on "global ignore". He was free to browse and post like normal, it's just that only him and the mods could see his posts. He had no idea. He would post and post and wonder aloud why he wasn't getting any responses. Eventually he left on his own.
There are 3 threads started by Mixum on the main board. There are 2 threads ABOUT mixum on the same main board, then one here.
If you don't like it, ignore him. its not that hard to do. or you can continue arguing with him. its not that big of a deal.
not really. what is the endpoint here, you want MIXUM banned because he won't stop arguing with people?
Strawman. I didn't ask you to judge it. I just asked you to state explicitly that you won't ban trolls.
Unfortunately, MIXUM's posts take away from the user experience of the board. Many posters don't have the amazing self control as you, and respond to his posts telling him to leave, etc. Those threads then stay on the main page, and draw attention from other posters and real discussions are harder to come by. When a real discussion does start, MIXUM does a drive-by and kills the discussion because other posters, again, don't have your amazing self control to ignore him, and the discussion gets derailed. So the options are: 1) Have MIXUM's posting habits change or 2) Have an entire group of posters' posting habits change. Which do you think is easier?
Do you see his threads on the main page if you have him on your ignore list? Looking at more than 2 options.
I don't know. I don't have him on ignore because his posts alone don't bother me. What is annoying is what his posts do to the reasonable discussions that may have been taking place.
what reasonable discussions? there's nothing to discuss really as far as the blazers are concerned. season doesn't start until Oden comes back, end of story?????
in general, I think the basketball discussion on this board is not really that good. don't know why, it just sucks, I don't think its Mixum's fault, but usually I just pop in to game threads or stupid threads.....i think maybe its too fast of a board to have quality discussions maybe.
