We then issue a list of permabanned trolls in the initial post and perhaps a three strikes then you're out policy. So if you have had three posts deleted, then you get a permaban. I'm off work for three weeks and would be happy to take a shift or two deleting the trolls.
I am happy to get things started tomorrow, once the dust settles from tonight's announcement.
We would obviously cross post Ken's announcement to discourage people using this thread.
No. The content would not be edited other than all posts from the well known trolls would be deleted instantly. A list of those account names would be publicised and updated in the original post. I am as aware as you that the thread needs to have opposing views in order to have proper discussion and you can't go around deleting posts because you don't like someone. No-one wants to read a sickening display of circle-jerking either. Yes, setting this up comes with challenges, but if we all try to make it work then it would.
I do not need to be involved and am happy to sit back and let others sort it, but who's going to do that? You?
