Voteban. Is it ever used anymore?

[Blackleaf40]

I can remember some forums years ago had a "voteban" option.

Essentially, if a troll invaded a particular interest group, members who had at least a years tenure could initiate a "voteban" and if the majority voted the troll out within 12 hours or so, then that account was automatically banned for 60 days or something.

I'm torn. We have a few that would overreact and it may get old. On the other hand, there are so many trolls that need to something better to do.

Right now the onus is on the mods to control trolls.

A voteban option puts it on the community.

And what happens when the trolls band together and voteban random people?

The ignore feature works very well.

I remember it required like 20 votes.

What are we a bunch of snowflakes who cannot handle trolls and people with differing opinions? The easiest way to deal with trolls is to stop feeding them- they usually get bored when they are unable to wind any one up and leave.
