Everyone...lets start talking logical ways to solve this issue ok. Attacks and things - I understand the way people feel but... - can't wait? Let us begin to address particular solutions towards a resolution.
Would I miss so-and-so? Is that the point? no it's not. I dont find much of which most people post as partulary offensive. But Bob, you did ask the question or create "the opportunity" for us to help certain people. You and admin have your position on this so we will be open to give you ours is you can ACCEPT (and actually use - meaning go through with the recommendations, as in write them into "law" to end this dispute). Let's actually solve this...write solutions into civil policy
You mentioned to me, personally, that a subject indicating a potentially offensive joke can be helpful for those who may take offense....YET i've seens no firm agreement from you that this is acceptable and will result in "immunity" from warnings/blocks.....we talk and talk but you dont actually act. This issue, the subject line for jokes, was right in front of your nose....I'd like to hear you actually say yes that is acceptable (since you agreed) and will result in immunity. Thats so easy to do....how come it hasnt been done? Baby steps...please

A quick lil vote, so to speak. Of course youd have to take into account any inherant bias in such a system but i'm sure we could put something together ya know. At least in serious cases here ya know. I think something like a 52 week block is absurd...seriously. whats the point...to punish? nah, not at that degree....thats more a ban in hopes the person will just go away. A case like that should definately be considered from both sides.
