Similar. But imagine some kind of threshold where a person given to douche baggery were "Ignored" some number of times, or explicitly placed on it by a mod. This could trigger them being placed on a shun list. A user could then decide if they want to see the shunned or not. There could also be a mechanism for getting off the shuned list. Why you ask. Because mere banning is a pretty crude mechanism. A person who is merely banned learns nothing (if there was anything to learn) and probably goes on being a douche bag, or gets even worse down the line. Someone who is "shunned" and knows it, *might* ask themselves why it happened and voluntarily modify their behaviour over time to be less douche baggy.
Anyway, for me, simple douche baggery isn't nearly enough to ban. You'd have to be a psyco bastard before I'd even begin to consider it. Of course I ban out right scamming, bots and the like. I'm not so open minded that my brains fall out so to speak.
Hey, that was a fun OT tangent.
Now, back to processing pics/vids so the users are happy.
