It's no secret that the quality of this subforum mirrors the Trump presidency. We've had some bad eras, but this era TRULY stands out as the worst ever. Unfortunately, we have no one to blame for ourselves. We own this.

We're all guilty of trolling, making arguments in bad-faith, etc. However, some posters REALLY stand out. These posters are so extraordinarily awful that it makes you question the concept of democracy. I suggest that we self-police and ostracize the WORST posters so that they eventually go away and/or improve their posting habits. An easy way to do that is to use the post-blocking script that I whipped up.

For Firefox users, download Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
For Chrome users, download Tampermonkey.

Anyway, once you have the addon, create a new script and copy the code below. I don't do front-end development so this isn't the most efficient version, but it gets the job done. Criticism, comments, and feature requests are welcome.



To add someone to the block list, just add them to the shitPosters array, save the script, and you're good to go.

I mean it's probably not going to work unless we all have the same list... assuming you wouldn't be putting me on it anyway.

But then people have been largely ignoring excellence for like 2 years now and he still posts the same sad old memes. Some dingleberries will just hang off your ass hair no matter how hard you try to wipe.

I am behind this effort in principle though. Just depends who we decide we're gonna be blocking.

A better idea would maybe be to get together and pressure the admin to assign a proper mod team, with a 0 tolerance policy for breaking site rules, to this space.

But then I'm a semi-authoritarian leftist and I think you are a libertarian right? Self policing our own little anarchist state seems pretty libertarian.

Tcock is far from a libertarian and people are plenty capable of deciding who to block by themselves.

We've tried tons of times to get a mod team, it's pretty much impossible. Mostly because Njag doesn't have a great relationship with the regulars because of some weird reason.

Organized 2-person debate threads.

2 designated users debate a topic in its own thread, with explicit agreement to disregard any comments in that thread made by users who are not the designated debaters.

A sister thread is created for that conversation in which other uses can copy quotes of what the debaters said and respond however they want. The designated debaters aren't allowed to post in the sister thread.

"Saucisson6000" because you hate me, you are the only troll here.
Should i remind you all the insulting posts you did ? And the amount of times you got warned for it ?

I think almost every user here is capable of providing something with some kind of value be it entertainment or actual depth, i will not bother to block any users but i will ignore trash posts.

'some weird reason'

Why does the dude on the right have a boner?

The purge.

We can allow pictures with nipples, again.
