17 is impressive gotta be the most

T-tops was a low quality troll and has been confined to one thread, even seems like he might’ve given up so not that big of a deal. Anachronistic posting hasn’t been completely brain dead lately but still sucks mostly and is getting to that annoying posting level again. I have no one on the forum on ignore and can usually help myself but sometimes I will participate in containment threads. I dunno, I think maybe some of these containment threads can help because what some of these right wing trolls say is what a lot of normal everyday people think so there is some useful information in countering some of those arguments which can be used against people not fully buying into the derposphere

I have 2 on ignore and you could probably guess them with one try.

What if T-Top and Anachro are required to share the same containment thread?

Why not just create a containment sub-forum and call it “The Zoo”, since its purpose would be to entertain us by allowing to gawk at animals?

Any way to keep threads from the zoo off the main page? If the main page becomes clogged with containment threads, I’m out.

I’ve been online for 25 years and every forum I’ve been in that dealt with trolls and bad actors by saying “just ignore them, if everyone does it they’ll go away” has eventually eroded and crumbled from them. Just something to keep in mind, I don’t have much specific about any one poster in mind with that.

Mute the threads. You won’t even see them.

TIL that you can mute threads

We have had a muted-by-default dumping ground available since day 1.

When do we get one of those plots where it has posts on one axis and likes per post on the other again. Feels like it has been a few months. Would probably be a good tool to see if some of these people are extreme outliers.

I think the only way they should be able to stay is 100% containment (like HNH) and not on the front page. Yes, many have already ignored them, but if someone new shows up, I’d hate for them to think that type of posting is acceptable here.

@zikzak who does this one?

I suppose this is the day you learn that your rights promised by the government are not the same as the obligations you must uphold to remain part of a community.
