I tend to stay out of these inane threads, but why is this post hidden?

Because boredsocial referred to a group of posters as captains.
Incredible.

The “just ban them” policy is quite popular. See Effen and Soulman a few posts above.

“It seems to everyone that if we establish firm order with a tough hand, then we will all feel better, more comfortable and safer. In fact, this comfort will pass very quickly, because this hard hand will begin to choke us very quickly.

“Ban” is such an ugly word, let’s change it to “retroactively uninvited from the forum”.

It sounds a bit like you’re referencing old drama tbh. Might want to edit that slightly before CW finishes his work out.

The problem with that being that you’re “uninviting” people from a forum that they are founder members of, and you have no moral authority to do that. If of course that’s relevant to you.
Only way to deal with dedicated trolls

I think you need to leave this old drama behind, dude.
67 other founders of this forum voted to put a neat shield by my username so I think I do have moral authority to ban trolls.

That’s your interpretation of your powers. It’s never been explicitly stated that you and CW can ban people for lengths of time that are indistinguishable from perma bans.
You’re way exceeding your mandate.
Show me the line in your election manifesto where you stated that effective permas would be enforced…

Nobody has been banned for more than a few days, and the vast vast vast majority of the bans have arisen from posts in this thread. I have a crazy idea, and hear me out… What if we all just stopped posting in this thread? I’ll even go first. Ready… Go!
This thought definitely occurs to me for the other posters who come into this thread having never really posted in AM before and say ‘ban everyone’. I mean I’m assuming they never interact with their enemies given they hardly post outside of AM (and the people they want banned only do) and there is hardly any drama outside of AM (of course to a lot of people drama is any disagreement of opinion but that’s another UP issue for another day) thanks largely to Cuse’s trigger finger imho. The people who post regularly in AM clearly get something out of it that the vast majority don’t.
Edit: fixed sloppy wording
