Nah, ban them and eventually the troll gets frustrated and goes away. You have to keep at it, though. It's like weeding a garden.

I don't disagree. Both methods work, one is much harder than the other though I'll give you that. I just don't believe in banning. Even for d3rpdidoo, his latest alt. I understand there are rules on any website, but I don't really care for those either, but I agree they need to exist to some degree.

They aren't mutually exclusive. In fact they work best together.

Fair enough, I imagine it would be that way.

Letting trolls run rampant is a recipe for disaster. I've seen it happen. I can't imagine why you would recommend it. Well, there's one case in which it makes sense.

I'm just on the slippery slope side of the argument, fuck banning. If it's about a rules violation, than it's whatever, fuck him, ban him, I don't give a shit. Socks doesn't bother me. Because I choose not to let it bother me, because he isn't important. It's on me not to let the fatfuck exist in my world. Does he actually have a chance at changing your mind? Probably not, so fuck him. I'm sure there are people who want to ban you, I can guarantee there are people want to ban me. Fuck it ban everybody.

Nah, just ban the disruptive users who try to ruin the site for everyone. If you don't, they ruin the site for everyone. Seen it a million times.

If only M7 were adequate.
