Written by Rioting_Pacifist the 5 May 08 at 03:18. Category: Brainstorm.
Related to: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Description
Some people just have bad ideas, but some people are just a deliberate PITA, if somebody suggests an idea that isnt actually an idea just complaint, give them a warning, if they do it again, ban them.

e.g corneel

Update: it looks like a better idea was implemented to stop the non-ideas,
"Finally, idea can now be marked as "Not an idea" by moderators.This will hopefully prevent further non-ideas, generally bugs, to be submitted on Ubuntu Brainstorm. Please remember that Brainstorm is a place to post ideas only! Any bugreports posted here won't be looked at. To report a bug, please use the Ubuntu bug tracker. "

now if only I could get rid of this idea

I wish it could be done, but I don't see a practical way to enforce it. They will just come back under another name.

We do not need to live in a police state. If you want to ban people for having bad ideas, then you are not in harmony with Ubuntu, Linux, GNU, or Open Source. Everyone deserves to have their own opinions.

I have to vote +0 for this..

I do agree with the idea, however, theres many cases I feel I would have been banned, because I argued with people. At what point is someone worth banning?

I find the troll frequency here surprisingly low. As long as it stays that way nothing needs to be done.

Just ignore the trolls. Never vote them down or comment on their posts, because that attracts more of them.

Ban people, real Ubuntu talk!
Get serious, with bugs like this, Ubuntu (and Linux) stays a system for unemployd nerds.
