I would guess a little from column A, a little from column B.

This guy is keeping me busy locking all his threads. I wish I could ban his IP. This better not eat into my turkey time!

i thought IPs could be banned. i think debrisstorm mentioned hints of it before one or two times in the war room forum. either it's gone from the "update" or the option was only believable

My guess is the infamous 'update' ruined that as well.

This downdate is a curse.

Before I was a mod, I do remember them being issued. Guess that option was revoked.

I didn't have an option to block IPs built here either. Even so, it IS possible to completely wipe any trace of a troll and his/her posts from the face of the site. I don't want 15 "closed" threads littering the forum. If you're a troll (like "Fan" was), then your posts are completely erased, and so are you.

How many of you even saw or read Fan's ONE post before he was "erased"?

*Raises hand.*

Does it mean that things have come full circle when it is Vertex considering employing features that have been a staple of my website?

"I would also like to have a point system for adding things to the site so there could be a leaderboard just for some added fun."

We don't have a leaderboard for points though, since you guys SPEND them.

as far as adding new features goes i think it's too little too late. many of the memorable users that joined there around 2009 that are now gone has completely made me lose interest in going back. when mezasemaster (scott) attempted to bring at least a few of them back, they all left again after about a month or two.

i think what really broke it for me was when that downgrade first started and the article scoring system was messed up allowing for a user to upvote or downvote any article continously, and of course orangejuice90s downvoting one of mine because he was being greedy with upvoting one of his own. i was really getting fed up with some of the new users there that were having their way and being spoiled and entitled.
