qu1j0t3i usually have a 3 strikes policy.Apr 27 15:26
XFaCEwhat's the criteria?Apr 27 15:26

qu1j0t3anyone who is rude, or defends mass murder, and so onApr 27 15:27
qu1j0t3merit an instant blockApr 27 15:27
qu1j0t3people who want to debate in some form often never get blockedApr 27 15:27
qu1j0t3unless they break one of those rulesApr 27 15:27
qu1j0t33 strikes works for stuff like name dropping.Apr 27 15:27

qu1j0t3racism - instant block. plain stupid - instant block. an example of the latter would be a reference to communism or socialism that, uh, doesn't make sense.Apr 27 15:29
XFaCEname dropping?Apr 27 15:29
qu1j0t3XFaCE: yeah, i gave an example. but that would be un-follow, not block.Apr 27 15:29
qu1j0t3if i follow somebody who name-drops 3 times, i'll unfollow.Apr 27 15:30
