Any thoughts? comments?
sigh

people rant because they feel passionate enough about something to talk about it.
give clear examples of dramatically wrong posts and deal on a case by case basis

being draconian and swinging a banhammer will not win any users over.
emphasise the good sides and push those users to put their passion into the system in different ways.

if my suggestion is stupid, contribute your better vesion!
go and read bugtrackers on sites all over the world.
I was just reading a tracker which had a rant from someones girlfriend flaming linux for taking him away from her.
Should she be banned for a year?

ie - the bugtracker is sound and does not need an over the top policy such as this
it just needs more people to help to cure the issues

get involved and look at the immense amount of Open Source code that CAN be worked on and fixed by this community.
