Members feelings about Bill aside, where was his banning poll? I must have missed that.

Sid got one.

Manix is the reason we have them.

csmokers banning policy is as follows

Banning Policy
Since this is a member moderated community I wish to lay down ground rules for the banning of a user.

• PM sent to Admin. Admin will review.
• If Admin deems the situation to be a banable offence then a poll will be created in the Politics forum.
• The poll options will be as follows:
  • Permanent ban
  • 7 day suspension (some situations may warrant 30 days)
  • No ban
• A 51% majority must rule in favor of the ban.
• At least 10 senior members must vote in the poll for results to be valid.
• The poll will be open for voting for 24 hours.

When the policy is followed, I agree with Ken that the decision should be final. However, the policy was not followed in Bill's case.

Also, Corona Gigante is not banned, just run off. He can come back anytime he chooses.

Hex made the final decision. I think his decisions trump polls since he foots the bill. There are some folks I'd like to see reinstated here. but Sarge makes a good point.

No nhcigarfan is right. We do have rules and everyone has to follow them. Hex is a friend of mine so is Bill. I do not agree with Hex breaking the rules even if he owns the site. This site lives or dies by the community. Not one person.

Bill got what he deserved and the forum is better for it. Hex asked him repeatedly to stop and Bill kept thumbing his nose at Hex and kept the forum in a constant state of unrest. The only thing Hex should have done differently is ban Bill months earlier. And who really needs anymore of Bill's 3 page whines trying to twist what someone else did into a bannable offense while he tries to twist him doing the exact same thing into something entirely different and noble? Good riddance to bad rubbish.
