okay so instead of banning people we should ban them from every comm except c/gulag where they are free to post their cringe

this has a 95% chance of going horribly wrong

    counterpoint: hosting whatever dogshit they post is a waste of resources, also banning people forces them to come up with fun new names

        I don't think that's entirely the case. We're there gawking at them, when we want to, and we understand how their messaging works. It's like a zoo. They prefer working in privacy in their own space or hiding their fascist nature in public spaces to spread message to a broader audience. Here we would already know they are fascist, and therefore discredited, and they couldn't act in privacy because we are watching them.

    a while ago when I was doing the Sigmarxism Discord server (don't ever run a discord server btw) we had this. People on a behavioral warning were assigned the gulag tag and could only access the gulag channel. To be honest I don't think it had that big of a positive impact it was just funny watching people impotently post their garbage into a channel noone could see.

    I'm not a social scientist or anything but now I think treating people like that breeds resentment and helps create more dedicated trolls with chips on their shoulders, and the better solution is the current ban them but let them slink around on new accounts if they'd like and hope they adjust their posting, otherwise ban them again.

    can it be a shadow ban so they just scream into the void replying to non-gulag comments and their posts look like they're in regular comms but only show up in the gulag

    I think this isn't a terrible idea, but that it should be only used for users who are generally good but got carried away by :brainworms: one day. I'm thinking about someone like LiberalSocialist or something. CHUDS wreckers should just get the equivalent of the :pit:.

    Like it would be nice to have something in between exile for life and no punishment at all.

    As long as you can get banned from the gulag this is a great idea

    Do that plus set something up so that the gulag can only hold up to 20 people, so when the 21st person gets shoved into the gulag, the oldest gulag resident automatically gets banned.

    This is fucking genius

    We can have our own little contained 4chan zoo to gawk at

    then they'll be assigned a posting prompt in pairs to compete for an unban. Whoever makes the best post is freed from the gulag while the other is permabanned
