We seriously need a system where we can systematically nominate & eliminate the idiots.

I would suggest a daily system (one ban per day, perhaps two on holidays), in a couple months we could greatly reduce the idiot population here.

To give people a chance to repent & walk in the light we could make the first one a warning, with a one week re-evaluation before the perma ban.

On the other hand, if someone received above say... 90% votes to ban then no warning would be necessary.

Skywalker would be my first nomination vote, second would be dmcowen.

Does kinda sound like that. Funny, I hate reality TV.

It could be integrated right into the forums, everyone gets one daily nomination to dole out as they see fit. You should have the ability to change your vote during the day, with all the daily votes being tallied at the end of the day (say 12 PM EST). The following day there'd be a forum poll with a simple yes/no vote on the previous day's most nominated. There would also be a section for the re-evaluations that came up on that day.

I think it has potential.

:D

Only under one condition.

We can trade and unban exiled members such as Wduaqnug

Like any woman who would be put off by the thought of swimming in the same pool as you would ever even consider doing anything related to breeding with you, anyway.

I'd take him over either of these any day.

He was harmless & damn funny at times (read: most of the time).

Skywalker - I do not know you personally, nor have I anything but a passing notice of your threads. However, the biggest issue I've seen with you is that you are searching for self-realization and self-worth from other people, namely women. Not only that, you objectify them.

When you look to others for your self-worth you lose any chance of stability. Relationships with others are inherently unstable and transitory; the only thing solid in this world is your own mind and your own sense of self, and you must rely on that and further develop it if you ever want to live a semi-happy life.

I disagree with you on this point. I've found that as you get older you find and surround yourself with friends who have similar interests and beliefs as you and those relationships tend to last a long time. I certainly wouldn't call them transitory or unstable anyway.

I agree with your other points though. :)

No, YAGT.org is for people who are making an effort to solve their problems. Those who refuse to listen to advice or continually post stupid things get flamed just as hard - or possibly harder, because we focus on the issue.

Encouragement: I've seen your pic and you're not bad looking. T3h wimmens probably aren't going to look at you and flee. You could have jumped in the pool, had a great time, and caught some female eyes if you had fun and facilitated others having fun.

Criticism: your personality and outlook on life (and women) would probably surface if you entered a reasonably long conversation with a woman and quash your chance.

Conclusion: I think you're worried about the wrong thing. You'd be fine with how you look; you'd lose the game on other criteria.

And this is what makes you so quintessentially pathetic - You complain about being judged by the standards you hold others to.

Guess what, short flabby guys don't have the right to be as picky as you try to be.

Or maybe picky is your way of concealing desperation?

Viper GTS

THANK YOU!

"i wanted to sleep with the girl, but it would have been sinful."

"omg girls in a pool practically naked. omg girls would see me. RUN!"

"OH NO FAT GIRL! run ruuuuuun! wait i'm fat myself! better not run, might jiggle."

"can't find girls ... but won't try to put myself in situation to meet them... because so many girls are out playing basketball... oh wait."

:confused:
