• "Seasonal" Idiot culls?

Ive been wondering recently. With all the idiot problems. Why dont we just have every two to three months have a big ass banme thread? I mean... isnt it worth a try?
eventually people will get the idea that posting in there isn't a good idea
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;40422318]eventually people will get the idea that posting in there isn't a good idea[/QUOTE] I think people would get the idea after the first couple of people are banned, everyone does it for a joke or because they were going to quit anyway
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;40422318]eventually people will get the idea that posting in there isn't a good idea[/QUOTE] idiot's would still post in there e.g the people we want banned
Remind me again why banme threads are idiot culls? What happened to real idiot culls like the hurr comedy option of that one poll?
Most of the posts in those threads are new-made alts that people use for a cheeky joke then go back to browsing Sensationalist Headlines on their main accounts or people who were going to leave anyway and wanted to let everyone know. You need a more subtle way of culling morons or else they just avoid it and return to Fast Threads.
We should open a cull thread and let it sit for a week or two so that people think it's safe, then BAM BANS
If we had an idiot cull that often then they wouldn't be special.
[QUOTE=mooman1080;40422519]Remind me again why banme threads are idiot culls? What happened to real idiot culls like the hurr comedy option of that one poll?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately I died in that cull.
I think the best idiot cull would be to ban everyone on the forum, then see who comes back to re-register.
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;40425316]I think the best idiot cull would be to ban everyone on the forum, then see who comes back to re-register.[/QUOTE] But no one can register unless someone already is registered to send out invites.
I like the idea of sneaky idiot culls. That way you constantly have to be on the lookout when you're posting on Facepunch. Turns it into a game. Thus Garry would get Facepunch to consume even more of our time, furthering his plans to get the entire population of earth staring at Facepunch so he can pull off some bank robberies.
[QUOTE=Pie108;40425946]But no one can register unless someone already is registered to send out invites.[/QUOTE] Garry will only invite people that he likes to facepunch ie no one (max)
But banme threads don't get rid of idiots they get rid of people who try to be funny
[QUOTE=Pie108;40425946]But no one can register unless someone already is registered to send out invites.[/QUOTE] If one guy is left to send out invites so others can and so forth, then every time somebody gets banned half the forum will go with him.
This totally ruins the point of an idiot cull oh my god this thread Once again fp over-analyzes something stupid as if it matters
[QUOTE=Andokool12;40428041]This totally ruins the point of an idiot cull oh my god this thread Once again fp over-analyzes something stupid as if it matters[/QUOTE] And yet you post in it. Protip: The key to being successfully passive-aggressive is to be subtle about it.
damn epic burn & overall post thanks thanks for the cool dude advice by the way i look forward to using this groundbreaking technique
How about every month we vote on the worst poster and get rid of them? Encourages people to post well. In the thread we use to decide worst poster, sarcastic posts would also be bannable.

[QUOTE=johnsten;40422420]idiot's would still post in there e.g the people we want banned[/QUOTE] the ones who post in those thread are people that want to be banned, generally not people "we" want banned
It can be like that short story; the Lottery. We choose someone and (metaphorically) beat them to death with rocks (a ban.) Appeasing the gods or whatever.
Could use some spring cleaning, but having idiot culls on a regular interval isn't a good idea. And as mentioned here: [QUOTE=Ericson666;40424525]We should open a cull thread and let it sit for a week or two so that people think it's safe, then BAM BANS[/QUOTE] Would be the best way of nailing the [B]ACTUAL[/B] idiots. Extra bonus if said thread is posted in [I]Fast Threads[/I]. [editline]26th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;40430052]It can be like that short story; the Lottery.

We should cull fast threads
[QUOTE=kaskade700;40430428]We should cull fast threads[/QUOTE] sticky a thread and call it "Fast Bans"
Bring back comedy hurr option that gets you permabanned. Those were the days
[QUOTE=Pie108;40425946]But no one can register unless someone already is registered to send out invites.[/QUOTE] Garry will surely send one invite to me.
what they should do is an idiot cull comment which makes the whole thread after a bannable thread no one would ever post again and facepunch would be perfect
we should make a cull where if you don't post in the thread you are permabanned
Idiot culls exist so garry can have a reason to ban people without looking like a complete asshole. He could ban people whenever he wants, but he tries not to play dictator and sort of just let posters frolic around until they grab attention to themselves and do something that deserves a ban. Though the other thing is I doubt garry knows who all the idots are, so he likes to make it easy and have them all post in one place.
