Perhaps something more egregious than that. Or a continuing pattern. Y’know, like the admins use. Are there more reasons why **Rigamarole** should be banned? ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Perhaps something more egregious than that. Or a continuing pattern. Y’know, like the admins use. Are there more reasons why **Rigamarole** should be banned? Look. YOU set yourself up as a possible judge. And yet you won’t go read the ONE thread submitted by the ONE person here who has submitted an actual candidate with an actual reason. Go read the fucking thread. Then tell me Rigamarole wasn’t the biggest dick this side of International Date line or the biggest retard. And note he was given the chance to admit he might be the biggest retard but he declined the offer. ---

I can certainly think of posters who IMHO this board would be better off without, but if I had the time, energy, and inclination to make an argument supported with multiple specific examples of how awful they are, I’d start a Pit thread in “honor” of each of them. ---

It was an interesting and potentially fun idea in ATMB, but ultimately it’s turned out to be primarily mean, in addition to being redundant and superfluous. ---

First, as to the OP, I did not suggest a thread, I suggested a _panel_. To further elaborate, one with robes, business cards, and the power of life and death over Members, Guests and Sarah Palin. A secret warehouse meeting place would be great, but at least a site on the Dark Web. ---

Bahh…do this shit right . Panel schmanel. We need a respectable CHAMBER people. Like with stars and stuff…and a big round oak desk. The kind where you press a button and a part rises with a nice glass of top notch vodka on ice in a fancy crystal glass. Really expensive plushy leather chairs. Lots of giant flat screens to review the evidence… Maybe a giant gong in the corner for dramatic purposes and to give the whole thing an asian flare. And a white persian cat that can be passed around during deliberations. But no…this is the Dope…we will meet behind the dumpster at the Quick E Mart in busted lawn chairs sharing ripple in used styrofoam cups while some dork insists we read last months minutes while enjoying the scent of hobo vomit. ---

I say we need to put our limited resources into competent assassins, not furniture and liquor. ---

Sadly, what most of you apparently don’t know, is that there already is a panel in place. ---

Star Chamber or not (may get the kids to build me one in Minecraft), I’m with **Andros**. What we clearly need is a Secret Headquarters on the Internet. I don’t know about dark net though. We’ve got so few Dopers on the Facebook page that that would probably do. (I hate FB. Crap.)
