TBH, it's kind of a bother to always type out all the names you want to ban... so I think eventually it will (and to an extent already has) self select to get rid of trolls and not just people one disagrees with.
    the vote will pass, i have no doubt. it is just annoying when there is a hot topic issue and a certain poster posts it first and then i and others can't discuss the topic. as i said, it inhibits more open discussions and limits participation simply based on spite.

    howey is the perfect example.

    Just voted. And the threads are better; there is actual discussion for the first time in ages. I haven't seen one thread that has excluded someone who can really add something, whether they're on the left or right or wherever.

    not everyone has weighed in yet, it's actually kinda close. Closer than I thought it would be, actually.

    Trolls can be rather fierce about their right to troll unfettered.

    technically 15-9. A certain member told me they accidentally voted for neutral on their phone when they meant to vote positive.

    could you vote for more than one option? 32 is a high number for a poll on JPP.
