Back in the Good Old Days when I was a moderator, you couldn’t ban anyone. You had to convince an admin to do the banning.
Otherwise I would have banned simply EVERYONE. And sat atop the heap of corpses, sucking on the bones and smacking my lips.
Okay, I’m off to start the “Babyraper Funtime” thread. Please come and comment!
From my experience with old threads I think it would be harder to find one with any reasonable number of participants where no-one is banned.
I randomly start with:
IMO The Top 10 NBA Players Since 1980 - The Game Room - Straight Dope Message Board
700000 - post 2 banned
770000 - post 12 banned
777000 - OP banned
777700 - post 2 banned
777770 - OP only
777777 - doesn’t exist
from August 2013 to September 2015

You declaw them before the real funtime starts, right?
Just after the circumcision, but before the treadmill.
Can they take off if they are on a treadmill?

I think your random number generator could use a little work.

Being on this board so long made me forget that bans are often temporary elsewhere online. Though it ultimately becomes a matter of language, as they simply invented the term “permaban.”
Darren_Garrison:
Some times when I note a banned user that had a very low or (very high) post count, I like to dig through some of their latest posts to see if I can figure out what they did to be banned. Today some link-surfing led me to a (short) thread where everyone who had posted in it is now banned. (I’m betting that there were fewer unique posters than there were usernames.)
Yeah, given the join dates and locations of the posters, that looks very much like a sock farm having a conversation with itself.
Even worse. It is a limbo contest, and participation is mandatory.
Folks who are banned here have to go to Facebook …
This one time, at banned camp…
