I agree that Sabo should not be permabanned. And I also assume you didn’t include a poll because you think that it shouldn’t take a poll to reverse the ban.
But jokes aside I agree with you that it seems like the ban should be reversed, although I think it would be valid to have another poll. @moderators what do you think?
I’m really avoiding these treads now but I can’t not comment here. Sabo is the single worst poster I have seen in 25 years online. He was removed by a valid and legal vote. He absolutely should not be back. His sole goal in posting is destroying discussion. He is the only poster I have ever seen with zero good faith.
I don’t think moderators should be able to unilaterally undo a decision made by the community regardless of their personal feelings. For example I voted on the original thread about permbanning people by request that people should be banned if they ask for it but the community voted for a 2 week cooldown first so I’ve followed that.
What threshold? The only polls with thresholds by rule are mod confirmations that need a 2/3s majority, every other poll is a plurality as far as I know.
Well then a new effort should have been initiated, since the poll should have been closed. And also the threshold hadn’t been met when Wookie re-instated the ban. It was a simple majority at that time.
There’s a poll regarding keeping Sabo permbanned where a majority of posters voted to keep the ban in place and you’re asking mods to ignore those results because of technicalities that involve knowing precise timelines of events from 6 months ago. I’m choosing to uphold the results of the existing poll.
The section you highlighted is regarding RFCs on rules, I don’t think it applies to votes on other polls.
