    She's a minor offendor. I mean minor. How 'bout just a light warning?

    She's not really doing any harm. She doesn't deserve to be banned.

    I've gotta say give her the warning....

    She's not really hurting anyone, just wasting space. Just warn her about it.

    Oh WOW -- I'm flattered! A whole poll on little old me? Salt/Dreamduh/whoever, I had no idea I affected you so much that you'd devote a whole poll to getting me expelled. I noticed you failed to list the very many posts I made where I wasn't engaged in Cesspool fun.

    Tell you what: I'll leave voluntarily -- no more posts from me, k? Now, you get yourself some levity and a sense of humour and get the mega rod out of your ass ... Deal?

    I'm outta here.

    I like Pixel. I voted to keep Pixel.

    (Pixel will remember this, right?)

    She does have some constructive posts. She's less offending than way too many others.
    She's not one of the most informative posters and she's girly like I don't know what, but you have no basis for a case against her.

    If you could show excessive rule breaking then you would likely have a case. but starting aome cesspool threads is hardly a case at all, Its like arresting a guy for craping on a sidewalk in Paris, everyone does it there, so what the crime?

    How can you say that? No one ever gets banned.
    This is whats wrong with sciforums and yes, the world.

    I vote that we get tough on mediocrity, and that ban threads mean something.

    I have nothing against pixel, but she might as well have been at teenchat.com, that goes for alot of you.

    And don't try the condescending "hey I didn't know you took it so seriously lolol" angle, as though using a forum for pathetic socialising is less uncool than using it for serious discussion.
    You're here, you suck, at least be productive.
    I'm actually starting to hate sciforums and I think I will leave. And yeah everyone will have their "good riddance lolol" comments, but you should realise this will be teenchat.com in a couple of years and it's because people like me are leaving and teenchatting nothings talking shit aren't being banned.
    "Intelligent community" will soon be the most ironic motto a website has ever had.

    I think Dr Lou Natic has a point. It would be nice if the admin and supermods were more up tight and banished people left and right for simply being un-intellectual. But unfortunately it is not going to happen, mainly because of the laziness of our higher ups and the side-effects of being strict. If you look at serious science forums like this: http://micro.nwfsc.noaa.gov/forums/ you will notice that idiocy and idol chat is kept to a minimum, just hard core science questions and answers. But where is the fun here? It was a good place for me to ask questions about spectral analyses of florescent DNA dies during my internship, but not for hanging around. If you look at another general science forum like this: http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/index.php? You will notice that despite an attempt at higher intellectual conversation, idiocy permeates the forum, why? Well when you open your self up to general science that means you open your self up to religion and pseudoscience, you open your self up to hypothetical questions that can rarely be answered with seriousness. A science forum must balance serious yet dull, with fun yet stupid, you can’t have serious and fun without the side-effects.

    None of the subforums are stupid, not even pseudoscience. The members are stupid.
    I've offered my services for watching members like a hawk and culling inadequacy, but no on takes me up on it.

    Also serious discussion doesn't have to be boring or dull, and serious posters could take time out to goof around without there being a problem. The problem is members who only talk shit. Who treat it like a chatroom/onlinejournal hybrid where they can get feedback on the pain of being a latchkey kid and the joy of yugioh battles.
    It's not like the disposables are hard to discern, this isn't a needle in a haystack scenario. They might as well be wearing neon signs. We just need the balls to cut them loose regardless of whether they abide by site rules or not.
    Anybody who had any respect for sciforums would agree with me.
