I voted for removal of sig, but then I read on and saw that he in fact had been warned before, and so I’d fully support a ban

Permanant ban. He will will never grow up and he will never change. Let's get rid of him before the next round of this.

I voted sig privileges being rescinded permanently. A temp-ban could also work, but we shall see.

Temp ban. If this is indeed his second offense, time off for bad behavior is a good punishment. Removal of his sig is also a good idea.

If and when a third incident happens, the ban hammer should be quick and ruthless.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Instead of a permanent removal of his sig, why not a 12 month removal and see if that gets him to see the picture?

Why? He didn’t get the message the first time, and a picture that big is clearly obnoxious to anyone, there is no reason to be lenient.

At his age, a year is a long time. He should be around 18 by that time. If he hasn't learned by then, more severe punishment would be administered.

On the other hand, I'm more in favor of an "until further notice" time period, myself. If he shows enough maturity and productivity consistently, after a period of time, then the Senate can vote to restore his sig privileges.
Later...

Permanent punishments upon people who have a possibility of learning is inapropriate. 12 months is a sufficently long time to determine if Trekdestroyer might potentialy learn.

I say Sig removal for 12 months and parole contigent on Senate Approval.

It is within the power of this august body to consider changes in punishment after the fact. However, I would caution against this action being done lightly, as a temporary 'quiet period' has been a hallmark of far too many trolls.

True. On the other hand, a year is a LONG time. Either he's goign to hold a grudge against us, reform and possibly become somewhat useful as a member, or move on elsewhere.

Perhaps, if he really wishes to come back after a year, we can require him to demonstrate he's changed. If at the end of the year he's not changed or demonstrated that he has, it can be a permanant ban.

Sorry for neglecting this thread; I've been very busy and haven't had much time for the board in the last few days. The vote is overwhelmingly for a temp-ban, and so Trekdestroyer has now been temp-banned. I'm not sure exactly what duration of temp-ban would be appropriate here, so I guess we'll see if anyone has any input on that subject.

I say a week would be good, maybe 2.

Which only slightly mitigates the offense, I think.

:?: Spanky? Einhander yeah, he does that a bit much (take notice buddy) but what Spanky does, at worst, is a few amusing emoticons every so often.

UPDATE: Trekdestroyer just E-mailed me to ask when his temp-ban would be over, so I unbanned him.
