I still grind my teeth a bit when I do CSS. Iāve accepted that itās just the way it is for the actual compiled files but my LESS variables also follow the same nonsense as it would be churlish to do background-color: @background-colour; (eg)
(if thereās a user called background-colour so I @'ed you)
Soā¦ when does @anachronistic get the boot?

lmao at background-colour btw.
Poll didnāt have much support, right? Seems like he gets to stay.
30 to 25 in favor of banning as it stands.
Thatās not good enough for a ban, imo.
Is there a nuclear option?

My feeling is that you need to be pretty damn unpopular to get banned. 45% of the community wants him to stay, which seems like heās fine. Of course there are no actual rules about this so maybe you can convince a mod to pop him.
FWIW I voted for a ban.

You guys wanted to ban nbz and he is a solid contributor nowadays from what I can see - so i voted no. I also took ano off ignore and have had very little of the issues I had before. I cant really tell what his crime is
Itās been less noticeable since I started the poll, but he was constantly trolling fast moving threads and the few posters that didnāt have him on ignore kept engaging him. When something like the COVID or Floyd thread has 300 posts in one day, I donāt want to wade through 100 of those being Raids and the people engaging him. Most of the forum agrees.

Itās 30-25. That makes it 29-26. But w/e. Hard to keep up the big threads daily as is. If I hear one person cry about the US senate going forwardā¦
I think it should take more than a simple majority of posters for a ban because of selection bias. All the posters who ardently want X poster banned will vote, the ones who donāt really give a shit will not even open the thread or be aware of the controversy. If a poster is barely losing a getting banned vote then if everyone were forced to vote theyād probably bigly defeat the getting banned vote.
If weāre having a simple majority to ban vote some other poster should have to volunteer as the opposition in a binding survivor thunderdome.

i agree with Keed here, i voted to ban him because he was truly truly awful when that poll came around but he has gotten better and I donāt support a simple majority ban at the moment. Given the current goings on I would switch my vote if i could
Ditto
eta: I was ādittoā-ing a post which I thought I saw that said that 55% of a forum voting to ban someone should carry the day (I think it was in response to a post that said that 45% of a forum voting not to ban someone is a significant pct, or something like that).
eta2: I do NOT want to change my vote.
I said Iād change my vote if he demonstrates who he is on 2p2, so if itās 28-27 thatās all he has to do to get a majority.
