That post doesnt seem to be overly banworthy, dont you think?
I dont see anything obviously wrong with that. It seems to be in jest.

context as well as history play a big role in bans.

I get that. But you still wouldnt be banning somebody after a good and orderly post. You simply wait for the next bad post of that person and then you drop the hammer, no? I dont see how that post in particular was considered bad enough to break the camel's back.

US Politics rules are a lot more strict than elsewhere, and he came off a 2 day ban for bad posting just a few hours ago

It's just one of those "you suck but you keep skirting the edge of what qualifies as over the line" bans. No one post you can point to but the tendency is there.

I didn't ban him in this case but website feedback would be a better place for that question of yours.
Edit: there you go, answered above lol

Don't know about this case, but there are plenty of walls of text on TL that just doesn't make sense. Many words just means that someone spent time on it, not that the content of the post is complex. I think some walls of text can be perfectly well addressed by a sentence or two.

Welcome back. I can't say who but likely because it was really offensive. I mean sure, you meant it as a joke but I can see it being offensive considering its context.

I haven't been in the US thread (and don't plan to), but seeig how polarised the discussion is, I imagine most posts in there are reported. Are there stats on that? Like fraction of posts reported last week or something? Rich?

I mean we don't agree on a lot of politics GH, but I was surprised you thought that was a good idea. Then again I stay out of that thread when I start getting angry at it and take a break, so its quite possible I missed just how angry everyone was getting at each other.

Yeah, TL has been infested with this idea that if you write longer it's better. Particularly if you write it in a pseudo-academic style. I guess it's better than people just posting memes but I don't know how many threads I've opened, seen a wall of text, skimmed it and realized that it's just a bunch of fancy words without any deeper meaning.
