    I didn't realise that you could lose the ability to post comments. Personally, I would prefer that to not happen - maybe lose the freebie +2 mod points you get for logging in. I don't see that banning comments helps, as anyone can come in as AC, it just means we lose the ability to track unpopular people. I don't mind reading the slander fest that is FaceF?ck - it's just their style, and I appreciate knowing who posted so I can take that into account. Probably doesn't win them many mod points though.

    Nb: I thought RDT was an insightful poster right to the end. For some he is MAGA. For others he is satire. For others still he is just a jerk. Same as the real realDonaldTrump. That was the whole point, I thought. Moot point (for now) as the *real* realDonaldTrump has got the kick for now.

    Nb2: Reminds me of Starship Troopers (the movie). For some it is MAGA. For some it is satire. For some it is just a movie. I appreciate the trichotomy, especially given the historical context of the Iraq Wars.

    Following that thought, what happens when a bad poster's karma goes so far down that they can't post comments?

    What can they still do, as a logged-in user? Can they reform their character and raise their karma back to the point where they can post useful comments again?

      Some other post said the bad karma disappears after a few days.

        Aren't there any Rules of Engagement? It's no wonder people go off shooting in all directions. And all the foot injuries.
