    It's not about the reasons being disclosed, this poll is more general than that.

    The specifics can be discussed if enough people want something to change!

    That's why this is a two question poll. is there room for improvement... Or not

    I can already see this poll failing. There are 4 votes for keeping it as is but there is a missing chad from the index of names. Shenanigans i tell you!

    Perma bans are the only thing I dont like. Those should be for guys like the 9inch italian donger, the guy who said he would sue Tned, etc. Those chumps get the perma.

    No one else, super annoying, trolling, midget, complete asshat like BroncoWarrior or anything else should get a perma ban. They can do their time over and over again, but not a perma. Most all of them are completely harmless. Even Chef Zambini- a total moron whom I find Hilarious! did nothing to really really deserve the Perma. WTE falls in that bunch, so does MO, dream, and a few others.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Well, one problem with transparency is fear of fascist Tned and mods. IMHO, discussions are better than polls, but if you are going to do a poll to get enough support for a discussion, then making it a private (rather than public) poll is probably the way to go.

    I voted to leave things as they are - but don't feel strongly about it.

    While sure, I'd be interested in more of all the juicy behind the scenes details (the gossip element Joe called it) - but I just can't recall seriously disagreeing with a ban recently.

    This last one seems a little harsh but whatever...

    this is pretty vague and leaves me wondering what exactly your motives are in all of this

    I guess this my point. If people find it harsh, do they want to do something or not.

    You picked not, that's cool.

    The only problem with this is it probably causes the mods way more of a headache than it's worth, just banning and rebanning the same 20 people every month. I mean, at some point you have to act like an adult and follow the rules on here. I have been banned my fair share of times, so I toned it down and started ignoring people I don't get along with. It's not hard. I don't really feel sorry for anyone who can't embrace that and don't really have a problem with them being banned. WTE and HotCarl are really the only two permabans I have ever disagreed with, but it seems like WTE doesn't even want to come back so there is no point in me bitching about it.

    Pretty much.

    I mean, how difficult is it not to spam the board when you know its against the board rules that everyone agreed upon? I think sometimes people just want to skip personal accountability and blame everyone else instead of the people at the heart of the matter.

    Lol..

    It's not about my poll getting beat it is about giving those who complain the opportunity to affect change.

    Or not.

    seems like a pretty ambiguous poll. Couldn't vote.
