As I child I prefered spanking to other forms of punishment. Simply because spanking was quick. It sucked when I got spanked AND given chores to do though.
I think that spanking is ok in rare circumstances with certain children.
When I mean rare, I really mean it, like a handfull of times in a childhood.
ex.
If I child gets so wound up that he/she cannot properly communicate or receive communication, and is being excessively violent to the point where they are a danger to themselves. They might need a spanking.
I feel in times like these a good swat, not overly hard, can shock them into reality.
Obviously, this will not always work and depends on the child.
Again, if it is not rare, then they get used to it, and it is less effective.
