uneeq: If 99% of shmendrick’s approved posts are trolls, I don’t care if his total posts are approved 50% or 1% of the time. Just block him. And I thank the mods for finally doing that a few minutes ago. I personally would have done it a month ago.
True…I guess I just feel a little bad for the mods. Blocking a user is a tough call to make. You want your decision to be impartial, and it’s hard to do that when you are prejudiced against someone on basis of their opinions. To clarify: I don’t think people should be blocked just for having bizarre opinions – only if they are obviously using them to mess with people and/or using multiple screen names illegally to express them. And it’s hard to make that call when you already have that bias.
