Isn't it possible to build a post timer admin hammer feature to smite the offenders instead?
Although the thought of overwhelming power may go to someone's head, it could be more useful than the ban.
Just spit balling here.

Use ignore would be a useful solution if it ignored those posts and anyone quoting those people and if people are tagged. Until it has that function it doesn't remedy the problem because you still have a ton of pointless response bloat, but that are out of context, so I've found ignore actually makes the thread slower and worse to navigate overall.
Yes, others have been run out of the thread for being stupid idiots, which partially highlights the problem. The current crop of potardos don't get shamed into leaving by bad arguments because they're not there for discussion, but attention. The worse their argument, the more they post it over and over, the more attention they get, the more they're encouraged to keep posting dumb shit that isn't in good faith.
My solution would be limit people to 4 posts a 24 hour period. That way we can all decide how to use our posts, whether it's 4 novels by Lithose linking the Lewinsky hypocrisy, 4 random tweets, or 4 responses to potatards.
That way no censorship, just limiting the noise and make people think twice about the dumb shit they're about to post.

I'd suggest removing the right wing posters who post nothing of consequence likekhorum too. Balance it out, see how it feels without the thread being full of faggots.
I'd suggest removing you from the site to see how it feels with one less faggot.

Wow, I'm fucking rolling here. There's a problem in that the majority of the Politics thread is just white nationalist bordering on straight out nazi's circle jerking to whatever tilts people that don't agree with them? The answer then is to fucking ban people that don't agree with the circle jerk similar to what Araysar already did wrongfully to me? Aside from a handful of threads this whole fucking forum is turning into a bunch of pussies that sit and whine that their fucking life is somehow being affected by people that want to push a different world view than their own. If this is an actual viable answer to the Politics threads problems then just fucking shut this whole shit down. Nobody outside of this small circle will remember or fucking care and there's plenty of other places to go jack off to owning libs, browns, lesbians or whatever else you fucking hate on the internet.

You werent threadbanned for having an opposing view. You were threadbanned for spamming the thread and refusing to engage to defend your posts. Literally the opposite of what you're claiming.
you mean like making up stories as to why you were banned instead of defending your ideas that are so much better?

This has to be one the stupidest things ever posted to these boards and anyone taking a_skeleton_02 bait should be ashamed at their own stupidity.
Goddamn you people (yes YOU people...all of you) are depressing as fuck sometimes.
Shaw this barrel-fire grade retardation and move on.
