OK peeps, I am seeing a lot of flamewars lately which go off-topic of this comm. I am also getting dozens of reports about people reporting each other for “rudeness” or “trolling”. I don’t want this comm to start becoming a drama haven, so I want to try and prevent people getting worked up like this.

What do you think about me starting to deploy strategic 1-day bans for people who I notice are getting into flamewars? If not, what else do you suggest to help people remain civil?

Don’t just upvote/downvote. I won’t take these into account, I want actual comments about this to better make a decision.

    Yup. 100% a perfect tool for the situation.

    And I say that as someone that has likely deserved a few of them here and there.

    It won’t stop report abuse, but it will reduce the in-thread drama.

    Hell, it might reduce drama in general since the serious drama queens are going to get butthurt and not come back.
