If we have enough people who want to see her back then admin might consider to let her back on this site. But keep in mind that getting enough votes won't let her back on the board by itself. It will only initiate the process of getting her back (subject to some other considerations as well).

I'm going with yes. It'd be nice if she'd learn how to stfu and quit making things worse with the admin though.

I don't care since I didn;t interact with her much.
However, if she is allowed back, it would seem to indicate people just want a punching bag. I can't think of any result other than the previous ones, so people must want that.

I vote no.
But it would be worth seeing her come back, then getting banned again, just for the lulz.
And then see her lie about it on the Area51 forum.  |

It will only initiate the process of getting her back (subject to some other considerations as well). So a permanent ban doesn't mean a permanent ban? What it means is that if there is a significant downturn in traffic on the board, regardless of the content, or lack thereof, because of the banning then that person will be "invited" back in order to stimulate the boards, even if that is just lies, bigotry and confrontation. The very thing the person was banned for in the first instance! Sorry, but that's just the cynic in me. |

It is not based on number of posts a person makes. We have allowed back people who have posted far less than Ada did. |

BTW I was against the whole perma-ban thing anyway, like I said, it is the cynic in me.  |

It's just that we are not averse to giving chances. But realizing the mistake is the first thing to let others know that they will respect the place and probably the thing that can let a person be back here after a ban. As I said it has happened before. Some members have been great since their return. That's why we like to give chances. |

I just found it odd that a permaban for who is perhaps the most hated and most popular poster on the board is happening so quickly. Has it even been a month? |

I tried my best to be hated more than Ada and blade. God knows I gave it my all. I even used words like heathen and sodomite, and I could still never be hated by the ungodly as much as them. It isn't fair. |

My thinking is that if Ada can be removed from permaban given everything people have said about her and vice versa, including the admins, then it's silly to even have a permaban policy.

I'm voting yes, because even though I'm not personally fond of her, I don't think that she should even have been banned to begin with.

No. Why reintroduce the source of so much hatred and lies to the forums?

yeah i'm not really a fan of the permanent ban thing. I know ada lies a lot and twists things around, but so do others around here (though not as badly).
Anyways I'm neutral on the vote thing, not having a clue as to why she was banned in the first place (i meant the actual action).

It will only initiate the process of getting her back (subject to some other considerations as well). Personally I don't have a problem with her; in many cases she appears just to give as good as she gets, even though her homophobia can be tiring. Even when she is aggressive, well, I don't post here never expecting to be insulted. Ultimately free speech is not only for people whom one approves of, or agrees with. (I'm aware that she remains free to speak anywhere she wants away from here, but people will know what I mean.) The only stipulation ought to be perhaps that her postings are monitored for hate speech. |

I'm going to abstain on this one, since I don't need to deal with the consequences of any decision either way. Presumably the admins have access to the relevant metrics that help them determine whether her continued absence has more advantages or disadvantages.
