Chicken, how about a ban for posters after a certain # of down votes?

If a post or more importantly, a thread is so awful that it draws hundreds of down votes, maybe that poster should take a seat for a few days/weeks/months.

Something like:

200 down votes and you sit for a week.

300 and you sit for a month.

500 and you sit for a year.

750 and you sit for life


As I post this I realize the likely outcome is me getting many down votes so think of all I have sacrificed to request this very important feature.

Eta: To be clear, this is for a single post, not an accrual of your down votes. If one post gets 300 down votes you get a break for a minute.

No go. I'd be banned solely for my M/TV board posts. Not my fault most people have shite taste.

Have you ever gotten 200+ down votes on the M/TV Board?

And it's your taste in movies that sucks, btw

I don't think I've even eclipsed 100. I'll get 30-50 for talking shite about comic book movies or The Patriot or Independence Day. Adds up tho

So basically every Clinton supporter should be banned for life?

This isn't all-time. It's for a single post or thread. If it's that shitty you get 200+ down votes have a seat for a minute, troll

Maybe not downvotes, but a certain ratio of downvotes, say -1000 is a ban for life. So if you have 1000 downvotes, but 50 upvotes, no ban, but if you have 1200 downvotes, and 50 upvotes, ban.

Hundreds of down votes = hundreds of clicks= ad revenue.

Tard.

Oh look, it's everyone's favorite wannabe tough guy

My thread was mainly aimed at ballscaster for getting over 750 down votes on his horrible post and in jest. It's for a single post or thread, not all-time so they wouldn't lose any ad revenue. The thread would still be there, the poster would just take a seat. People will still click the thread and down vote him. It's not so serious anyway, relax.

Great idea. Make this place even more of an echo chamber.

What about people with downvote stalkers? I haven't ever gone over like 3 per post. I think one of my downvote stalkers died a few months back, and another one took the helm now

We're talking a single post getting 200+ down votes, which hasn't happened much at all. The #s could be changed to higher but when someone gets 200 down votes on a single post its likely a very shitty post. Or they're trolling so a few days off would be alright, maybe needed This isn't an accrued down vote count.

Woo how the thread finally got an up vote
