Is it better to ban someone from a message board..
... or just let the users "ignore" whoever they want?

No... If the "rules" for banning are described too explicitly, then a dick can dance around just short of the cutoff saying "I'm not breaking the roooo-oools, you can't ban me!"

HM is right on. The rules are "don't be a dick" and the interpretation is up to UT.

On a private message board like this one, the persons who runs it gets to make his own rules. If you don't like them, no one is forcing you to hang around here.

By "you" I meant the entire world, K? Oh, and BTW, I adore ME, and I'm not going to change my posting style to please ANYBODY because I am soooo perfect! And if you perceive this as a sly innuendo, well, all I can say is that I love EVERYONE, and I'm not responsible for anyone's PERCEPTIONS re my posts. Thank you.

No one. I was just wondering about people complaining about a user to the owner rather than just ignoring him/her. Why people would do that.
And then I started to think why have both, an ignore option for users to use, and also a banning system. Banning someone erases a user for everyone, when maybe everyone doesn't want that user gone. I used to ask why do you need an ignore feature. But now I wonder, why ban when users can ignore? I did expect people to respond with "If you don't like it, too bad." But that doesn't answer my theoretical questions.

Answers to all these sorts of questions follow the Cellar culture. Members are expected to act like grown-ups and exhibit some self-control. UT takes care of the very few folks who can't manage that. On another topic, have you noticed, Steve, how many of your threads are meta-posts (posts about the Cellar, the Dwellars, comparisons with AG etc.)? I think your other threads are more interesting.
