If you had 100% control over this forum would you silence Flum for spamming?

I've heard there's people dedicated to spamming threads in the hope of causing arguments lately. Would you silence someone doing this, yes, no, maybe, just for a little while? I hear there's tons of options now.

Just a friendly reminder not to be a bully on the forum.

I'm asking the questions everyone thinks about but are too afraid to ask.

Yeah, "arguments" is a harsh word. If I had 100% control over this forum I would let him ask questions that you would have locked, so don't listen to me

You sure? I don't think about what sexual orientation I would prefer, if it were possible to change it... Maybe that's just me tho...

I would like to think that I would make decisions based on the evidence in each specific case applying the principles & rules and not allowing emotional reasons to influence my decision. The over~arching principle would be that I would have to balance the imperative of making the forum a "welcoming environment" with a desire to encourage robust discussions. So it's not easy.

If I had 100% control over this forum, I would ask why Flum isn't making all of these threads in the Politics forum where one might expect and value spam.

I don't think they're matters of government or politics. Those aren't really the questions he's asking.

I'd call his boss and meet him over lunch, give him a firm handshake, look him in the eye, and tell that sonuvagun to give him a raise, just like how I got my job at the factory in 1965.

It is a tough call though as many of the topics he is raising can easily be seen in political terms. I understood we have a politics forum anyway not because of the topics but because the way certain topics can cause very heated discussion. Probably a better name for the forum would be "Debates" rather than specifically "Politics". I think PlayDip names the equivalent forum like this.

But I do make some in the political forum. I still need to respond to the one I made about vaccines there.

Can we rename the Politics forum 'Debates' just so there's no question Flum should be stuck there?

This is the most active the forum has been in like five years. I see like ten threads that are active.
I'd give the man a medal. And then revert the forum to its state circa 2011.

Okay, brought back Yellowjacket. You can check, he's not banned. My work here is done.
