The proposed rule will be adopted if it receives support from at least two thirds of all voters for moderator appointments or if it receives support from at least 60 percent of voters for all other rules .
Since this does not relate to a moderator appointment, it seems clear that banning him would require 60% approval.
Hard to remember. He was accidentally perma’d, there was a vote to unban that was 60/40 for unban, he was unbanned, but no one locked the poll, people kept voting and he was eventually banned at 59% and at that point the poll was locked.
Is that right?
Well, that’s precedent, so can you try to accidentally ban Sklansky?
As a follow-up: I’m not a moderator, just a sometimes admin. And the benefit of the admin role is that I don’t make judgment calls. I thought that this was a straightforward interpretation of how to proceed. If others disagree, for any reason, I’m not going to unilaterally act on my interpretation.
No, it’s not. We have mods here who continued to work for 2+2 for free who knew exactly what David did. And posters, like me, who continued to post there for years after finding out.
If people liked SE, the poker parts or particular posters, what choice did they really have? Quit 2p2 because the owners are idiots and weirdos but you never interact with them and now you don’t interact with people you do enjoy? A lot of big forums, from reddit to iGN to whatever don’t have a great history.
