aka Mob Rule
If they're not doing anything wrong (aka breaking the rules) then they have every right to be here. If they are doing things wrong, then they would be breaking the rules, and would not be here. I don't see any bright side to making a petition to ban someone.

Well if they're not breaking the rules and just being annoying then the Foe Button would be the best course of action.

I understand there are pros and cons to this idea, however the good outwieghts the bad imo.
Would be happy to explain it.
An outline of what you think the pros and cons are would be appreciated.

Please consider this as its a very valid question. If you do agree or don't, may you please explain why.
Thanks

There will be no requests granted to any petitions.
This is not your government, this is a private forum. Which I will take the time to point out, You agreed to the terms when you signed up.
If you don't like the terms, you are free to leave. No one is forcing you to stay.
on that note

Indeed.
While it would at times be very practical to ban annoyances, it would be wrong to do so if they do not break the rules. However tempting it would be.
It has taken years to build up an relatively fair system here on these forums, and having "petitioned bans" would not be all that fair...
