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.

    The other user (at least, the one you responded to) was just trying to define where they would draw the line, saying both:

    I dont like the idea of banning people for speach that isnt calling for actionable violence.

    But also:

    I think bans for clearly bad faith reports is fair.

    U think people should at least be warned prior to being sent to the sinbin.

    So they aren’t fully against banning people.
