This is the reason the trouble-makers have been banned from here before. For those who can't self regulate, a public voting system should ensure whether they should lose their posting privileges for specific period of time. I don't think banning is a good solution -- but too many people hide behind their internet aliases and think it gives them the freedom to be asshats... Implementing a system where negative points will result in their posting privileges auto-suspending for 7 days etc might be far more productive. I support this. I'm here to share REAL Daoist discussions, it's a shame that said asshats are allowed to stick about. If one goes to a school and behaves this way, one gets kicked out.

Funnily enough, I just asked for one. That might take a while. Ugh, me as usual showing up way too late for stuff. I need to be kicked out for lazy attendance.

I need to be kicked out for lazy attendance. Oooh, my ego, quoting myself! Actually, I liked the shuffle where Daoist Discussion eventually ended up above GD on this forum. Maybe Personal Practice should be bumped up as well. People that want to come here to learn should see inviting stuff. Otherwise, they'll come here with high expectations, see all these threads and be like "Wow, those Daoists are horrible people" It's a big thing that major religions struggle with - bad PR due to a select few that shout and attack bigger and bigger so that the peaceful philosophy gets drowned out. Can't we all get back on the down-low? Take a leaf out of the monks' books... Edited February 24, 2020 by Rara 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to be kicked out for lazy attendance. In all seriousness, someone should be able to host a thread. I would volunteer, but I am wondering if I can do something on an invitation basis, but everyone else has observer status and posts questions to a sibling thread or something like that to control quality. Not sure how to go about it though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
