Fantastic idea! And we could make the Mods members of the Appeals Board! Wait a minute.

Based on your posts earlier this evening, I can see why you would be banned. Your comments contributed nothing to the debate - it was all name calling. Calling a writer "scientifically ignorant" does not foster much good will.

If you don't agree with a writer, point out where he or she is wrong - and stay away from the ad hominem attacks

Do the Viking Kitties get representation on said appeals board?

[Mark]

It sounds like you have never been in the military. Fr is not a Democratic site. Just live with it and take your lumps. If the lumps are too painful, then quit. I can’t say how many times I have been discouraged, but weighing the overall score, FR is still the best.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I suggest an appeals board consisting of long-term FReepers with differing views. They would enforce or overturn suspensions and bannings upon review

[Grizzled Bear]

It’s Jim’s house and we’re guests. The owner of the house can ask guests to leave at any time for any reason.

When someone throws a turd in the punch bowl they can expect to be removed from the premises. I’m not saying you did that, I have no idea what led to your suspensions.

However we cannot seize control of Jim’s house.

kicked off "for good"

That's not really true or you would not be posting again.

The board meets every Tuesday and Thursday.........

The absolute polar opposite of this thread is going on here.

This is a weird place tonight.

[roamer_1]

Ooh! Ooh! I know:

NO.

[Joya]

If you aren’t happy here, start your own website.

I would think in order for that to work the appeals board would have to have immunity from banning- you did say they would have differing views so I’m just picturing the discussion of whether to uphold the banning of one freeper or not leading to the banning of some on the appeals board during the process...LOL

Actually there is an appeals process now- I was banned. I waited a few months and then emailed Jim Robinson using the contact webmaster on the main page and asked him to consider allowing me to come back. He allowed me to come back so I know that appeals process can work.

This is a solution in search of a problem.

FR is a privately owned site. It follows the golden rule:

He who has the gold makes the rules.

We're doomed, we'll never make it.

Faming happens. Look at what happens when you suggest a little limitations in the franchise. You get called a fascist or worse.

[Saundra Duffy]

It’ll never work; makes too much sense.

[Fichori]

"kicked off "for good" once." [excerpt]

Does that mean your a retread?

[Kevmo]

Interesting suggestion, probably won’t go anywhere.

[LukeL]

Someone needs to take that “This is Sparta gif” and have it say “this is FR”
