[08:08:11] <SoylentDeath> It is Done.
[08:45:31] <SoylentDeath> 15 Front page comments, currently: 0, 8, 10, 3, 9, 16, [Meta: ACs banned] 57, 15, 1, 20, 7, 4, 4, 5, 6. Avg=11, thrown off by the Meta.
[08:47:37] <janrinok> what on earth are your numbers referring to?
[08:50:31] <janrinok> No visible AC comments have been 'thrown off' - they are posting from accounts as AC.
[08:52:50] <janrinok> All stories since the last spam - which was about a week ago - have been Only-Logged-In-Users. The ACs are ALL logged in!
[08:54:56] <janrinok> The bans were in strict accordance with our guidelines. The first spam got 1 day, then 2 days, then 4 days, and then 8 days. Are you just realising that life is a bitch?

[08:57:23] <systemd> ^ 03SoylentNews Comments | Change of Policy - Anonymous Coward Posting on the Main Page ( https://soylentnews.org )
[09:04:20] <inz> Re-submitting a story about Alzheimer's sounds appropriate to me.
[09:07:35] <janrinok> lol!
[09:16:36] <SoylentDeath> Pipedot levels of comments. You knew this was going to happen.
[09:29:09] <janrinok> "I agree things are looking more like the old days here again. I'll happily deal with the fact that there are fewer comments overall, when those comments we do get are ones worth reading and engaging with"
[09:29:42] <janrinok> "I will happily approve of the "cost" of turning away unrepentant trolls and spammers. The less I have to do with that nonsense the better."
[09:29:57] <SoylentDeath> If only they were! The drop in quantity is paralleled by a lowered quality.
[09:30:13] <janrinok> "Yeah, the conversations have been a lot more enjoyable."
[09:30:33] <janrinok> "The only (sane) choice, and a good decision."
[09:31:03] <SoylentDeath> One sign of the Old Timer's disease is confirmation bias.
[09:31:14] <janrinok> "As I mentioned in a reply to The Big Discussion, I will stand by your decision. I'd rather have fewer people making useful contributions than a lot of useless spam and flame-bait."
[09:31:57] <janrinok> "Subject says it all. This is a great community. Thank you."
[09:32:19] <SoylentDeath> You will never hear from the ones who walked away, and this is by design.
[09:32:34] <janrinok> "It sure made me dust off the account i made when this place was new."
[09:32:41] <janrinok> So keep walking....
[09:33:11] <SoylentDeath> More true testimonials from satisfied customers, then?
[09:33:20] <janrinok> If you, or they, don't want to be a part of this community, go elsewhere. Create your own site.
[09:33:54] <SoylentDeath> I have been here since the beginning, And now you have killed it. You should leave, first.

[09:34:14] <janrinok> So you mean you have nowhere else to go....
[09:34:24] <SoylentDeath> Heyt, Lili's here!
[09:35:15] <SoylentDeath> You, janrinok, seem to be the one with nowhere to go, and so you resort to banning anyone who disagrees with you.
[09:35:43] <SoylentDeath> Not a good look for a "freedom of speech" site.
[09:37:27] -!- SoylentDeath has quit []
[10:08:35] <FatPhil> yeah - janrinok banned everyone who disagreed with him. Must be up to about 50 people now. Well, I say 50 people, I mean 50 accounts, don't I, Ari?
[10:46:19] <janrinok> Only 1 person has ever been banned from this site, and it wasn't because I disagreed with him.
[11:11:16] <FatPhil> well, you disagreed with his behaviour. Love the sinner, hate the sin, eh?
[11:11:29] <FatPhil> I'm totally not calling Ari gay there, obviously.
