I'd love to, but that would be way too serious.
Forum needs a little, just a tad bit more of stricter rules, and I think there'd be a better balance to things than what there currently is.
So you're saying you want less freedom. Or only less freedom for others?
That was the direct reason to create this topic, but it's been stewing for a while seeing topics asking to bring back Newbie jail, ban Newbies from creating topics or banning alt accounts.
Where is the option to vote against allowing votes?
Don't vote

I'd hope we'd manage to stamp out far leftism and far rightism as strongly as possible from the forum along with any pro authoritarian peeps that come along who want their privacy sacrificing to big data farms.
It sounds pretty authoritarian to want to stamp out pro authoritarian peeps.
ban users who don't capitalize sentences
How this option sticks out from the rest cause it's not capitalized makes me want to vote for this
It annoys me too, but
it's part of the forum's mission to be as free as possible.
Users who write ALL CAPS are worse though.
Now, as part of my freedom, I want to make a petition to stop people from making a petition.
Go ahead, nobody is stopping you

I think level of democracy is optimal here.
Lol, I don't think Bitcointalk is a democracy at all. I'm okay with that.
Omg 9 votes for ban the OP.
If you guys ban the Switzerland's AI all you guys are doomed.
I'd say those 15 (44%) out of 34 voters (I'm not counting myself) get why I created this topic.
I'm just stirring the pot a bit

The ovine masses will always choose tyranny over freedom, if they are allowed to choose freely.
I notice it in the news too: many people want more government and more regulations, even though we have a large government with large taxes and more laws than anyone can read already. They always want to force other people to do what they believe is right.
28% of the total votes till now goes in the favor of "I'm hurt, ban LoyceV"
Don't count votes, count voters. It gives a higher percentage.
I am sure all those people who voted on this option are not serious and voted just for the fun.

You think?

Give the freedom of the authoritarians to impose restrictions on others, while not applying said regulations for themselves.
Isn't that the basis of all restrictions? People cherry pick which rules they follow, whether it's spamming a forum, traffic rules, or murder.
At least the second most popular poll response is the one that actually makes sense: banning bots.
Apart from the popular opinion that I'm an AI, I'd love to have a
posting bot again. I can think of many good uses for it.
I'm disappointed with the vote option, we're in Bitcoin Forum, but there's no option to make bitcointalk.org uses public permissionless blockchain

Every member should run
bitcoin bitcointalk.org core and reserve 20 TB storage to store all spam post permanently.
Currently, 100 GB is enough. I'd love to see what happens to a truely decentralized forum, and I've seen interesting posts from theymos about it, something like: a system similar to the custrom Trust list could be used to decide who's posts you get to see and filter out the spam.
