Should TMP/Bill/"we" eliminate the Dawghouse?

Yes
No

Mako1104 Mar 2016 8:27 p.m. PST

Yes, it's just silly.

Mute Bystander04 Mar 2016 8:32 p.m. PST

No, just be consistent even if it means I get DH'ed at times.

nazrat04 Mar 2016 9:00 p.m. PST

Nope. There needs to be some means of controlling the children… 8)=

Mako1104 Mar 2016 9:47 p.m. PST

Good idea, kyote.

Who will be our Superdelagates to help ensure the proper outcome?

wrgmr104 Mar 2016 11:01 p.m. PST

No, there is no other way to regulate the forum other than to ban a member. The Dawghouse give the poster time for reflection.

No.

No..It gives nasty discussions a time to calm down.

GarrisonMiniatures05 Mar 2016 5:05 a.m. PST

The alternative would be?

MajorB05 Mar 2016 5:13 a.m. PST

No.

Mute Bystander05 Mar 2016 7:37 a.m. PST

Nazrat, I will let you know if it works for me.

Cosmic Reset05 Mar 2016 7:55 a.m. PST

I guess that there would be no alternative. I frequent eight other hobby forums, and none of those have or seem to need such a mechanism. Members who violate the rules are given reminders/warnings about crossing the line by the moderators. Repeat offenders get banned. Banning seems to be a more rare event on those other forums than here.

I think it actually does more to stimulate poor behavior here, than stop it. Mostly, I just find it a minor distraction from the hobby stuff. And a way of manufacturing drama.

I only ask the question because of the great fear and trauma that the idea incarceration there causes me.

Winston Smith05 Mar 2016 8:11 a.m. PST

No.
Why get upset over a mere timeout?

Allen5705 Mar 2016 8:22 a.m. PST

No

Cerdic05 Mar 2016 8:26 a.m. PST

Gentlemen, may I suggest a compromise?

Keep the Dawghouse, but hide it from view. Seems to have worked for the stifle system….

Winston Smith05 Mar 2016 9:23 a.m. PST

No. Don't hide it either.

Ceterman05 Mar 2016 9:35 a.m. PST

No. I just got out.

Winston Smith05 Mar 2016 9:41 a.m. PST

Actually, the "We" in the title is irrelevant.
Dear Editor in Chief Bill set it up without any input from the peanut gallery. He will run the poll, if he feels like it. He will rig the results to give the "right" answer, if he feels like it. And he will implement the results, when and if he feels like it.
So move along.

Weasel05 Mar 2016 9:42 a.m. PST

DH a random poster every day.

Simpler, easier and more fair.

Mute Bystander05 Mar 2016 12:32 p.m. PST

Oooooh, Weasel, I really like that!

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP05 Mar 2016 12:38 p.m. PST

DH a random poster every day.

Doesn't sound random enough!

Any way we can make more random? Like randomly doghouseing people for 5 minutes at time, So atleast 3 times a day you are doghoused.

Trying to post a 1000 word post, nope you got doghoused while writing it.

Mitochondria05 Mar 2016 7:05 p.m. PST

Bleeped text yeah!

RavenscraftCybernetics06 Mar 2016 9:00 a.m. PST

be careful what you wish for. the DH is the only thing standing between you and my tasteless lesbian jokes(TM).

Weasel06 Mar 2016 10:19 a.m. PST

Gunfreak – I think the lockout bug kinda does that already :-)

jpattern206 Mar 2016 8:03 p.m. PST

Irish Marine07 Mar 2016 1:03 p.m. PST
