Talk - Little kiddies writing video game walkthroughs have the nerve to tell me to get a life?
Eh. I've been avoiding getting my toes in this topic, just to keep my filthy name clean, but I'd like to remind some of you who seem to have forgotten just how effective bans are against people looking to create their own entertainment.

As well, a five-minute block? That would hardly be noticed, especially if the person was not focusing exclusively on this single wiki (example for reference: when I was having my fun here, I was usually watching TV or working with some code, so a few minutes would have barely been noticeable). Even having a ban for a few hours is not all that much, even for those who don't have a small army of tor exits available to them.

I actually have to disagree with the banning for complaining entirely. Instead, just create a new "test" banner, and make it clear about what is going on with everything. Furthermore, simply saying "this place isn't too entertaining/active/whatever" really isn't all that much to get upset over; there are times when the wiki is a dull place.

Sure, if a person is being disruptive or verbally abusive (as was the case with this topic) action needs to be taken, but really, flat-out banning for it? Short times are pointless, and long times are overkill.

Give people a special test warning when they are being disruptive over this sort of thing (and is this the first incident? I don't recall seeing any more like this in recent memory). If they continue after that, give them a block for a day, and from there out, let it be progressively worse, if the mods or admin care.

Five-minute blocks... *laughs*

And how well would that work?

If the person truly does not realize their complaints are a nuisance, then they need to be told or they will continue. If they simply want attention, they would be doing far worse than whining.
