public trials are simply bringing the vote brigading mechanism back, with disliked contributors (by a vocal subgroup) removed from the site by public spectacle rather than by downvote spamming.

Personally, I LOVE having /u/magnora7 as the admin, and i've supported all but one of his bans (/u/diogenesjunior, who I think fell foul of a long term mindfuck by TheAmeliaManiac). Democracy is a failed mechanism

They aren't because vote brigades dont make arguments, they are done by bots, and they have no oversight.

A trial would be like an admin decision with transparency and intelligent input from the public. No one is getting booted because of retarded group think. There is an open discussion. This is exactly how it should be done and is exactly the opposite of what is done on platforms like reddit.

You had a 50/50 and got it wrong.

daymn. OK. so you are debating honestly and not just making it up as you go along to win.

As i'm trying to understand what you are saying, are you suggesting that the proposed 'public trials' would involve free and fair representation, debate that is not constantly derailed and interrupted by ameliamaniac and does not involve some kind of voting at the end?

Because that's not what would happen, but i don't want to ascribe that vision to your voice if i've misunderstood that as well
