Steamtyme does not understand there is no self moderated "option" available in meta. It seems unlikely someone would forget to make it self moderated while typing out local rules 
well, there are some here in meta who clearly could get that confused.
well, there are some here in meta who clearly could get that confused.Yeah my mistake. I'm not in the habit of censoring or excluding users in my threads. I have seen the local rules get added the odd time in an edit.
Local rules are enforced entirely at the discretion of the relevant moderators. It's intended to be for stuff like "you must post a picture", "you must make a price prediction", "do not go on tangents about services other than ", etc. Not really "these people are banned: ...". (Though I have been thinking about adding a function to ban specific users from your selfmod threads.)
This makes sense as sort of guideline for the thread, or to create a specific train of thought on a subject.
I can see the benefit of the feature for self mod threads. Are you thinking of limiting it to specific boards? I could see some people possibly getting out of hand creating campaigns to ostracize people. Would the topics be hidden from those excluded or would they still be able to read the topic?
Either way for the benefits of it I probably wouldn't bother. I assume a good portion of blocked users might just use alts anyways.
I am sorry to tell you but according to your local rules you are not allowed to comment in that thread:
Local rules - only the most senior admin may comment on this thread.
Only Cobra, Cyrus and Theymos may reply. Satoshi can chime in, if he feels strongly about the situation, which I expect he would.
Now go and report yourself to most senior admin member. Only Cobra, Cyrus and Theymos may reply. Satoshi can chime in, if he feels strongly about the situation, which I expect he would.
I almost posted that in the thread yesterday but reconsidered. Had a laugh when i read your post.
