Yeah, I know. I debated not even posting my thoughts. Maybe audience participation hadn't been considered yet, idk.
No worries, It's just that I've tried literally everything to deal with problem posters. Not that I'm saying that every contestant here is a problem, mind you.
Reaction nuking and mass negging: no effect or encouragement.
Badges of dishonor: no effect or opposite effect.
Infractions: no effect or doubling down.
Shawing: no effect or doubling down.
Discouraged list: enragement and doubling down of behavior.
Pol section removal: enragement and doubling down of behavior.
Tempban: as soon as they're back, it's right back to the same behavior or usually worse.
Ban: I'm sure they move on to doing the same thing in someone else's back yard.
I'm convinced that these are the same type of people, that when threatened with a beating IRL by someone capable and willing they keep going. Then, when beaten and bloody on the ground, they keep talking shit. Absent their teeth, they'd still be trying to talk shit through a busted face.
Some people are just beyond all reason.
