The problem is, being a disingenuous liar is not against the Forum Rules. I tried that route.

I honestly believe Xeq gets a bad rep. He reminds me of chaos before the election. It's not that he's disingenuous (usually), it's that he vastly underplays the issues we point out, while vastly over selling the issues that are counter to that. He also has a tendency to latch onto one or two points and argue those into the ground without taking in the full context of the issue at hand (much like chaos did), specifically when a couple of the resident shitposters post that we should just kill illegal immigrants, xeq will then spend the next couple hours about how much this "conservative forum" advocates for "genocide".
Scream just comes in waves, I've said it many times in the political thread, it just truly amazes me how easily he pulls people into his troll sessions, and beyond that it's staggering how long he pulls them off sometimes. Several times I've checked the politics thread from work, came home, went to sleep, and catch up the next day and the last 24+ hours has been a non stop post session from Scream pulling people into his argument. It's impressive in a way, mostly annoying, but impressive. Beyond that, outside of political threads, I personally find Scream very entertaining.
Lend has basically the same shtick as he's always had, pretend to have a limited grasp of english while also pretending to have a larger understanding of US law/The Constitution/whatever than he actually does. It kinda reminds me of what snopes has turned into when it comes to politics.
Tolan, Fuck this racist commie, bitch ass should've been banned a long time ago.

@a_skeleton_02 50 post a week is less than 10 post a day, that is way less than 1 post an hour.
You are telling me with a straight face, that 1 post an hour is too much for you to handle. On a thread constantly polluted with link and zero content/thought from the posters, a behavior that mostly get the liberals guy banned btw; you are complaining that we post.
Ok tiggles, look at my history of posting for the last two weeks and find an instance where I am trolling people.

Just make more OPTIONAL side topic threads if you wanna focus discussion and have it manageable. Banning every liberal from politics is fucking retarded. If the thread moves fast, it fucking moves fast, skip or skim or ignore posters or something.
PS only Tolan is more annoying than a_skeleton_02. Lend misconstruing laws, Xeq hung up on a side comment, and Scream flexing his nuts are all less annoying than the awkward fat neckbeard flirting with lesbian posts.

If we ALL have to put specific people on ignore to enjoy a thread and have actual discussion then why the fuck are these specific people even allowed in the thread? Fuck 'em all.

I love this. It’s abou time we stamp out the infection at it’s root instead of treating symptoms.
Sure, we could all put those 5 on ignore. That’s never going to happen. Giggles has proven their presence creates an environment in which they steed and dominate the thread and keep it from its intention.
Sure, all the people who dog pile them are being potatoes. I take the bait a lot myself, across all my different name changes. But what’s more realistic, removing 5 for a test week to see results for the greater good of all, or expecting hundreds of users to ignore these faggots.
Politics gets the same posters, but I have to imagine a lot more would dive in if they didn’t have to wade through hundreds of shit posts, and trying to read Lendarios legumer English.
I get the point about censorship. Let’s give it a week and see what giggles metrics say.
Then we could try a week where we police the response so to them. Any response to lendarios just insulting him without a legit response would net a 24 hour thread ban. Then compare the weeks.
I’m sure you will find removing the 5 baiters will be more effective.

This sounds like a policy proposal from a potential member the upcoming amod team.
It might have some merit, tbh...
