OK peeps, I am seeing a lot of flamewars lately which go off-topic of this comm. I am also getting dozens of reports about people reporting each other for “rudeness” or “trolling”. I don’t want this comm to start becoming a drama haven, so I want to try and prevent people getting worked up like this.

What do you think about me starting to deploy strategic 1-day bans for people who I notice are getting into flamewars? If not, what else do you suggest to help people remain civil?

Don’t just upvote/downvote. I won’t take these into account, I want actual comments about this to better make a decision.

    If the only offense is that people are getting heated, a cool-off ban as a reminder to take a walk and come back later works wonders.

      The real crime is the people abusing report feature IMHO

      Apub prolly needs a feature to track this behaviour

      But gotta love these two “rudeness” or “trolling”.

      Why would people do such a thing?!
