Feedback lolcow amnesty -

[CatParty]

what if towards the end of the year we offer one cow a chance at amnesty? we let them argue their case and let the site vote to close their thread (at least until they fuck up again)

Kind of like a Lolcow version of the President pardoning a Thanksgiving turkey?

yes! plus it will be a good gauge at which lolcows can clean up their act

 

[José Mourinho]

Could be worth a try tbh.

 

[TiggerNits]

This is a cool idea because it will turn in to lolcow infighting almost immediately and get more and more dirty laundry aired as they screech to get their info off the internet. Hell of a honey-pot

Sad thing that we have 0 active cows that are worthy of having their thread closed. AKA why this idea is going nowhere (except as cowbait).

 

[Mimic]

Go for it. Could prove interesting.

If the thread's worth closing all it takes is a polite email to get it closed.

I'd rather see it be made policy that @Null will temporarily delist threads on request if needed. Bad SEO will fuck you up when you're jobseeking much worse than when you're employed, and I don't think any of us want to be keeping people from landing a job at walmart or mcdonalds. It wouldn't be that much work for him considering how few of our cows bother with gainful employment, but I think it would be nice if we made it clear that was a thing we were willing to do for people with job interviews coming up.

How about doing a penny auction once a month. Each cow can buy a bid for like a dollar and the highest bidder gets to have their thread removed.

If we do this Chris and Phil should automatically be disqualified.

Sounds like extortion.

 

[Lurkman]

I wouldn't mind seeing that, it sounds like an okay idea.

 

[Sperglord Dante]

Sounds like extortion.

Sounds like a genius idea, but it's missing a key component:

The second highest bidder has his thread featured for a month.

 

[AnOminous]

Sounds like extortion.

Demanding money to not publish something is pretty much textbook blackmail.

Nigga did you drink a bottle of Downy you got soft as fuck

Would it be illegal in such a situation as @yawning sneasel's suggestion?

Honestly at best it sounds like an Is Anyone Up? type situation.

I don't know for sure, but it's bad juju that I wouldn't want to fuck with.

You guys are still missing the point: if a cow wants to be reformed all it has to do is shut up. Paying or playing a "game" for amnesty is only a thing a cow would do and the act is, in and of itself, telling. The nonsense is at the core of this idea and only autism would agree to it.

I was happy to just give my opinion once in this thread but now that our lawyer expert is mentioning extortion I have to come in again and reiterate that you've all missed the point big time.

EDIT as long as it's fun and games I'm all for discussing this but you all are taking it seriously, aren't you?

I didn't mention it. Marvin did. I just pointed out he was right.

Also I don't think we should remove anything, ever, unless it's as a favor or under extreme circumstances. Or they actually just flat out stop being a lolcow, save a bunch of orphans from a burning building, cure cancer, or some shit on that level.
