The Official "Ban Joseph?" Poll

Post by _Simon Belmont »

It is no secret that I have been the number one advocate of banning Joseph for a long time now (pretty much since about a month after I started posting here). Many in the community didn't agree with me, though some did. The question we now face is this: in light of everything that's happened since MDB was temporarily taken down, should the MDB member "Joseph" be banned?

Yes.

He poses a threat to this board whether he is permitted to actively post or is banned. There are more posters who would like to see him gone on this thread:

It would appear that some members of this community have had their fill of Joseph and his antics.

I don't know about banning him, but he is the one and only person on my ignore list.

Why ban people? I don't get it. Are we not free agents?

I'd vote for Simon getting kicked off the island first, if I were going to vote for anyone.

banning joseph won't change a thing. Whatever threat he poses now he will still pose when banned. Just put him on ignore.

I disagree. He needs to know that this behavior is unacceptable.
