Their ongoing rule-breaking is the primary problem and it sets bad examples for others to follow. That is why they should be banned.

I'm not for censorship, though getting rid of the sealioning trolls is bonus. When this site is overrun with sealions benefiting from no censorship we'll deal with that then. There's no shortage of others here I don't agree with and won't call for their bans. The block function is very incomplete and a failure IMO as it stands. I don't need block to ignore them.

I failed. I should have been more clear in my post and clarified the distinctions. For that I am sorry.

We can shun these people and make them irrelevant

Countering their bullshit is a full-time job that will never end. Like all of us they are free to roam our pastures, but they leave huge turds everywhere they go. I'm done trying to clean up their shit. I did try it by the rules, several times, and they weren't enforced, thus leading to this post. You won't see more "fake drama" about this after this post from me.

Shame you missed the point.

Ah man Jason you make me giggles. Acting like someone doesn't understand, shame shame, hahaha, just like the children on the other side. Man really expected better from you than a retort that I didn't get your point. Banning, getting rid, etc., these are euphemisms for censorship whatever rational you want to put after that statement. The block function works pretty good as a couple other people have said in this thread already. The fact that you choose not to use it is your choice, a poor one in my opinion but your choice none the less. Idk did I miss something or I thought once dr3 or w.e took back over he said he wasn't too keen on the pyramid of debate or these "rules". Eh, maybe he's changed his tune which would be a bummer. Either way crying about some rules and people breaking them makes you sound like a child sorry dude. Just grow up, get off the computer for a little bit, and ignore these people. And please try blocking them, it really does help. Banning = censorship PERIOD. W.e rationale or reasoning you want to put after that doesn't take a away from that fact. You want to censor people for breaking rules? Ok cool but call it like it is, it's fucking censorship and you're prompting it. Fuck off with this "shame you missed my point shit" bro, we both know your smarter than that. Call it for what it is, censorship, for whatever reasons IDC but speak the truth my friend.

If you think banning porn and spam and other rule-breakers is censorship then so be it. I call it good hygiene.

M7D3 have never claimed that SaidIt is a "free speech" zone (alluring to asstroll chaos) because they want civilized discourse here.

Conveniently you've ignored the complaints about the block function, under this post and abundant elsewhere on Saidit.

Stooping to saying basic crap like that only looks bad on those who say it.

Dude if you want censor people ok but stop arguing about the semantics to try and make yourself feel better. Banning = censorship, no matter the reasoning. Also the whole pulling out a piece of the response instead of responding to the whole post is trollish. I did say something about the block feature. I said in my opinion, along with a few others on this thread, seem to think the block feature works fine. To say it's incomplete is silly. When I blocked theameliamay or w.e the fuck his/her name is all it's shit went away. That doesn't seem incomplete to me. You can ignore people without blocking them, yes, but you don't seem to have that ability. If you feel it's incomplete let's works to make it better instead of censoring people. There are always other ways. Also try not to respond twice before I get to answer one retort it makes for a really bad discussion. &Really my friend, just try getting off the computer for a little bit and being in the real world I promise you this stuff won't mean as much.
