>The Bo can specifically ban when he sees fit
Technically, yes.
Culturally, no fucking way.
Anons do NOT want bans on the basis of ANY individual "seeing fit." Not without full confidence/transparency/REQUEST from anons. Otherwise viewed as authoritarian, loses trust. IP bans are useless anyway bc these fuckers IP hop. One of them has already admitted it does this routinely.
What we need to do is get more eyes on, build an aware consensus of oldfags/autists. Bredd 3009 is a good start. We need to gather evidence (links/screen caps). I have troves of it, just need to whittle into presentation(s), timed so as not to create too much drama/slides, and I can't be the only one presenting. We need to hash all the evidence out together, and then make an open call to label certain bakers as "clown" based on the preponderance of that evidence.
How do we screen bakers then? One way is IDEN by prev. bakes when ask for handoff, and BO/BV can confirm whether baker is honest re: those bakes being theirs. If no prev. bake history, BO/BV monitors, and anons watch like hawks for tell-tale signs of clowning.
Any other ideas? We can always go back to the whitelisted trips idea, but I think that still puts too much authority on BO. It's not about whether I trust him, have watched long enough to trust 100%. It's about unimpeachability in perception, otherwise clowns have window to seed suspicion. Needs to be a screening system WE use, not the mods.
