On the contrary, I think there is broad agreement here. Anyway, Foraroomba would be a pretty neat title.

Having associated with many people who think screaming at and threatening someone is an effective method of getting their own way, I think that method ultimately backfires...

CBD: In real life, yes. Online, though, it's quite effective if you have the will to do it and for as long as the site hosting the communication allows it. The "threat" is a little different online as well, since it is the threat to continue acting a certain way until others give in.

It totally works IRL as well, though, not so much for men.

You know, there are two other polls on this issue that haven't been moved to this board.  It's insulting to my intelligence that they think no one has noticed them hiding the evidence of their capricious management and sloppy implementation -- first deleting Pry's posts, now, selective editing.  It suggests the reason this one had to be moved is because it shows a fair amount of agreement among people who care that has been ignored.

Member Mods, one of the first things you can do is sync reality with the words of the people who employ you and move those other threads here.  This looks bad and is yet another giant red flag.

I am with Pry and Bread Pirate in this one.  Something stinks like too much cinnamon.

Neither.  Just let some people zap spam, and don't tell us who they are.

I think you have to put something in the field.
