At the end of the day, broken, obsessive people with no jobs and no lives will always be more committed to their activities than the functional people who monitor them. The only true solution is that a vast majority of people learn to recognize them online, and ignore/avoid them. Anything else will eventually be subverted or overrun.
- Bartweiss 10y agoThis is the best argument I've ever seen for hellbans. Yes, they're capricious and unfair and opaque, but troll-hours so outweigh mod-hours that it's worth considering any tool that helps create leverage for moderators.
- M_Grey 10y agoI couldn't agree more, and I'd just emphasize that no one likes hellbans, including the people who have to impose them. On and offline, we always seem engaged in some form of distasteful, yet necessary asymmetric conflict.
