Repeated Intoxication Incidents

[Shawn Gossman]

Have you ever had to deal with a member on your forum who shows up drunk?

Now I don't drink anymore at all, but I have no issues with people who do. I do have issues with drunks who are mean and belligerent. I've had to put a few on the ground during my security/bouncer years way back when.

You can't detain them on a forum, though. You can ban them, however.

Have you ever dealt with a drunk on your forum? How about one that has repeat drunken episodes?

What is your response to something like this?

If you don't want to ban, what I would is talk to them about the community rules they are breaking but if they don't stop, I'll simply moderate their posts to be approved. They can decide to stay or walk away. Btw, I'll disable their DM after having a talk with them.

Yeah.

If they're a nice drunk and they're not annoying everyone, I'll let them be.

If they act like fools, I'll send them down the road.
