Which subforum has the most bans?
« on: October 15, 2011, 09:16:07 AM »
I was thinking about this the other day. I would venture a guess that the conversation gets the most heated in PR, but not a lot of people go there. I haven't been on the DT side of the forum is at least a year, but I do remember that being pretty bad. As for GD, people sometimes get out of hand and get their asses handed to them, and every once in a great while, some people will actually get so pissed off at each other's musical tastes, they will insult each other until they get hammered. So I ask, what do you guys think?

It'd be interesting if a mod can give some empirical data here.

I've never seen this happen.

I voted PR, but I have no idea.

Probably PR without a doubt, or DT after a new album leaks.

I voted DT side. I don't spend any time in P/R so I don't know what that's like, but GMD doesn't have a lot of bans that I recall, and GD has a few, but DT side seems to have a lot.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I went with GD. There's so many random stuff in there. And the spam threads never stop

It has to be between DT and PR.

It seems to me that the NFL thread alone probably results in nearly as many bans as P/R by itself.  I never check them out,  but the baseball and NHL threads might be similar.  I'm guessing GD is higher than P/R by a wide amrgin.  As for DT,  I don't spend enough time there to really know,  but it's probably competitive with GD.  Also consider that DT is where the noobs spend most of their time,  and their unfamiliarity with the law of the land,  combined with the mod's unfamiliarity with their styles probably results in a shit-ton of bans. 

I'm going with DT.

edit:  upon further consideration,  the last sentence of my theory has to clinch it.  The increased noob traffic in DT is the game-changer.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Plus a lot of regular posters there never see GD, whereas most GD posters post there as well.

Without doubt the Dt side.

See, I no longer go on the DT side, but when I did, a lot of people got banned for being dumb, not so much for being an ass. As Barto said, n00b traffick is big.

I've banned more people in GD than anywhere else.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
