How to resolve v/gaming current situation? (gaming)

submitted ago by sguevar

I personally agreed with u/Aged ban from v/gaming before.

However, despite of disagreeing with his defenders, I think the v/gaming community needs a chance to getting this resolved in a more diplomatic way.

Since we are all getting annoyed by the constant posts done by u/theoldones and his detractors, which I should say are engaging in downvote brigading - yes both parties - then I think we need to handle this matter differently.

I have actually paid close attention to the hole situation and liked what @Obrez had to say about it on his reply to my comment on this post: https://voat.co/v/whatever/3142426.

My comment - https://voat.co/v/whatever/3142426/17859850 Obrez's comment - https://voat.co/v/whatever/3142426/17869265

This is why I created this poll to allow the v/gaming community to sort this matter once and for all and we can all move on. This should also work as a precedent to solve any other similar issue on different system and public subs:

LINK REMOVED FOR REVIEW

THIS POLL IS COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS AND NO PERSONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO FILL IT

This poll will be active until this Sunday, April 14th at 4 pm CST.

I shall then make a new post on v/gaming with the results of the poll asking for @Puttitout to honor it's results.

UPDATE:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The link of the poll has been removed for review and consultation with PuttItOut, Cynabuns and MadWorld.

Some users presented good additional alternatives to creating a new rule and hence they need to be presented on the poll as well.

Plus @thantik presented a valid concern regarding the wording of the poll in question. (Despite calling me a kike like a faggot XD - but hey, all in good faith).

So I will be recreating the poll to contain all the alternatives I saw plausible and viable instead of creating a new rule on v/gaming and that reduce the risk of being a push poll.

I want this to be as least biased as possible allowing an objective presentation of the results so the v/gaming community can decide what to do with this whole matter. I will be returning with a new post and a completely corrected poll.

Sorry for the nuances here and thanks for the feedback!

Putt made his decision enough fucking polls already. No rules broken = no reddit style bans. You want to do something actually useful? Petition to have gaming's rules updated.

Seriously, either update the rules or give us a "block user" feature.

Let's not turn into plebbit 2.0

I'm surprised the blocking feature doesn't block submissions already.

The poll's main objective is to see if new rules are required. And it give chance to the Voaters to chose the wording of the new rule(s).

It doesn't take you much time to fill it and it should get the situation straighten out with ease. I don't see the problem of this but I am opened for your criticism on the poll.

Spam is already a rule. No new rules needed, just enforce whats already there.

Kinda like real life.
