Speaking hell banned users. Here's a comment from one of them right here! Sometimes they scare me a little. This is an example of it doing its job. Sadly we do have false-positives sometimes too.

God is perfectly just. Niggers deserve hell. Hell is the absence of God.

- krapp 13y agoTempleOS isn't a standard by which the utility of hellbans should be judged. He's pretty much the definition of edge case. Most hellbans are probably spam, followed by people unaware of what random and arbitrary rule they broke at some point in the past, followed by trolls.
- cheald 13y agoFor those not aware, he's a paranoid schizophrenic who believes that God lives in the OS that he wrote from scratch. He's fairly well known around these parts as TempleOS/SparrowOS/LosethOS.
- vyrotek 13y agoAgreed. I just couldn't help point out a some-what famous example right here. Sometimes I convince myself that it's just random garbage, but then I find comments that are a little bit on topic but still are incoherent rambling. I can't help but be intrigued.
- pygy_ 13y agoI remember one of his comment being dead on (IIRC about system programming in the 80's), followed by the usual ramblings.
- Udo 13y agoHe's a racist schizophrenic religious fanatic who never, ever posts remotely on topic. Some of his posts advocate death and violence. How in the world could this be considered an edge case? It's the definition of creepy. Isn't Losethos/TempleOS/whatever more like the reference case for hellbanning? The way I understand it hellbanning is supposed to protect us from both spam and abusive content. TempleOS is both.
- krapp 13y agoIt's an edge case in that he doesn't represent the typical hellbanned user. I agree that in his case, it's for the best that his posts aren't public. I'm also convinced most or all of his posts are script generated anyway, not that it really matters.
- Udo 13y agoYou're right, but I don't have a clear picture what the typical hellbanned user looks like. There are spam bots submitting stories, but you don't see them in discussions. Hellbanned users you actually meet in threads are, at least as best as I can recollect, most often posting normal stuff that wouldn't rank as low quality. Sometimes I click on their history to see where things went wrong and it's usually not hard to find this one post that ended their account. It doesn't matter if all the rest of it was pretty good, that's all it takes: one glitch. I'm not sure if I'd say this is a good system or not. Maybe it would be more productive to have a time limit on bans that result from one-time offenses.
- DanBC 13y agoTempleOS / SparrowOS / LosethOS / Terry knows he's hell banned, but continues to post anyway. His OS is interesting. His posts are scary. He's looking for help with art and logos.
- clicks 13y agoTerry's been discussed a lot by now, he has schizophrenia. It seems he went through clinical treatment but sadly that didn't help him. Really just a tragic thing... I wish he could have been better helped because he seems like a smart individual otherwise, what with having made his own operating system and all.
- angersock 13y agoI saw a post of his the other day--it mentioned he might be in jail. Is he okay?
- PavlovsCat 13y agoThe false positives are kind of the point.
