Okay this is how I think this should work. Everyone can vote under their username. (not a poll where people can sign up with alternate nics and pack the vote) I'll leave it up for a week. You can change your vote as many times as you wish by editing your original vote. A supermajority of 67% would trigger a ban. Weigh in here- should it be temporary or permanent? If this is agreeable then we'll get started.


Edited to add- upon further research 2/3 or 67% appears to be the norm on supermajorities so that is the figure I'll use. So go ahead and vote just put down I vote to ban {insert name or names here}. In the interest of fairness I'd say any and everyone is fair game. If you want to ban me- go for it. As this will stand for a week and votes can be changed until I close the election I'll point out that we can all take this opportunity to adjust our styles to how we feel we should behave. Maybe we can convince our fellow posters that we deserve mercy.

For clarification, according to Robert's Rule of Order, a supermajority is 75%.

sounds fair to me DB. I would assume the ban would be permenant. If a group of adults has to come to a place where a behavior is so disruptive that we have to actually go to all this trouble....then why go backwards later.
It is sad that the situation has come to this.

Is this where we vote? If so, I vote no ban no how no way for anybody. I vote that we stand up and pile on to unwanted behaviour.

Piling on to bad behavior makes us no better than the offender.
I have stated my intentions already.
Life is way to short and fragile to start, end or spend any part of ones day putting up with.
I vote for ManMain to go.

Only two votes so far? I'd like to think that we'll all try to behave better from here on out and we won't have to ban anyone. We have a week to see, right?
