I’m considering a policy to ban anyone who types “weed”

Because it seems to be a good indicator of moronicism.
Comment ID #9128
Hey, your forum. Your rules. I just won’t type wee….wait…that was a trap….
Comment ID #9131
Wait, what?
Comment ID #9134
True, but that’s very general. Problem is you ain’t gonna be able to catch all the mooks, it’s impossible really. Unless you come up with a really efficient vetting system.

See?
Comment ID #9139
I WIN.
Comment ID #9144
Yeah, suitcase, I don’t think you can win this fight.
Comment ID #9152
I dunno. I brought it up once, but not to promote it. I don’t care for the stuff. Middle ground…maybe just relegate it to adult topics?
Eh, I don’t care either way. It’s not like I’ll take issue with the rule even if you did put it in effect.
Comment ID #9153
nah.
the problem is how are you gonna regulate it? You’d have to scour the topics day and night looking for morons to ban, it’d be really time consuming.
Comment ID #9154
Are you on crack?
See what I did there?
Comment ID #9159
See, gabe’s got the idea.
Comment ID #9184
Why is everyone so literal!
Comment ID #9185
I have no fucking clue what is going on
Comment ID #9193
Neither do I. I just saw this as an opportunity to use what little “wit” I have.
Now what’s the situation?
Comment ID #9196
I think it’d be best if you properly explained what you’re on about Suit.
Comment ID #9201
Oh, just that “bored” and UNIT something something and MacGyver something something are shitting up the page comments and I feel a little confused as to how to deal with that.
Comment ID #9204
So you’ve got a couple of trolls talking about cannabis constantly?
Comment ID #9208
Send them a stern e-mail….
PFFFFTTHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Comment ID #9209
Huh. Time to investigate Tron style?
Comment ID #9211
You could always just ban their IP’s.
You can do that, Right?
Comment ID #9219
But many people share my IP address!!! It’s dorm internet! What if some troll is in my dorm!?
Time to go troll clubbing.
Comment ID #9221
what if I were to theoretically change my name and use a seprate IP address, for example anyplace that has Wifi?
Comment ID #9224
Seriously you’re temping fate here
Comment ID #9225
Hmmm. . didn’t think of that.
Comment ID #9226
The only real way to control who can and can’t post is to implement registration. Make it a privilege you can revoke, rather than a right that you have to fight to control.
Comment ID #9230
heeheehee suitcase are you on crack or sumthin xDD
Comment ID #9233
You guys definitely need registration if you wanna control the idiots. Past that, you can’t do anything except clean up after them.
Comment ID #9234
I think the ban would put a heavy strain on our already lacking landscaping discussions.
Comment ID #9243
War on trolls is like the war drugs or the war on terrorism, it can’t be won. Still that “bored” guy is really annoying, I keep losing the threads I’m reading.
Comment ID #9244
Awww…I hope registration doesn’t change the format or whatever, it’s just so accessible and easy to jump into like this.
Comment ID #9245

Taeshi stole my joke… I feel both ecstatic and unoriginal at the same time.
Comment ID #9251
I don’t think I’ll do registration. I have an idea for opt-in registration of sorts, but not real registration.
I don’t think I’ll ban either. I can do bans, but I don’t want to get into that habit. Plus people should be free to say what they like, I guess.
Comment ID #9253
Pffft!
Free speech just gives morons the ability to fuck important shit up.
Hypocritical of me, seeing as I like my free speech, but it’s the truth.
Comment ID #9314
You could make registration optional, but still have some benefit. Like, have you heard of flood control? One post every 120 seconds except for registered users, who can easily be banned and have their posts removed in one click.
Comment ID #9382
Hold on, you are considering banning people for talking about it in any manner, promoting it or just spamming stupidities such as “Oh, I’m so f***ing high right now. This comic is more awesome like this”? I’m kind of confused about who you mean… :?
Comment ID #9402
You guys really need to check your e-sarcasm meters.
Comment ID #9403
Yes, we know you were being sarcastic, quack.
Comment ID #9405
Am I to understand that there’s a “Towelie ban?”

I think it has sowt to do with WOW…

Oh, you kids!
