This poll is the official public vote for whether or not the user Orbitz should be banned from the list server. The ban will take place on all active list servers, and last for 30 days. Voting on this ban will remain open for 48 hours after the initial time of this post. The results of this poll will be public, as in anyone can see who voted on what. Anyone who votes more than once will have all of their votes nullified -- only one vote is allowed per person. A 2/3 majority vote is needed for the ban to take place -- that is, at least 2/3 of the votes (not counting non-votes) need to be 'yes' votes for the ban to pass.

Please also note that this thread is intended for the voting process only. Please do not debate the issue of the vote in this thread.


Now... what is this? What's going on? Why are the list servers now banning people?
The list server administration has recently been hearing growing support for allowing the list servers to ban users from using the list service for rare cases in which a particular user is disrupting the quality of the game for the rest of the community. The list servers have never been intended to be used as a means of policing the community, and we would like to keep it that way. However, we believe that if we are capable of aiding the community by taking action in banning a particular user, it would be more appropriate for us to do so than to just sit back and let the community possibly get destroyed. For us to take action on something that would effect the community though, we feel it would be more appropriate to let the community have a say in such actions. That's why this vote is taking place. It is to give you, the community, a chance to decide if our actions are reasonable and worth doing. So please, take this seriously, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Also, please note that this policy is relatively new, and may be modified and improved in the future. Though hopefully we should not need to resort to these measures very often.
