Atrocious comments and users on the site

[Jasonjjones2012]

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but wasn't sure where else it would fit.

Today, I noticed a user had made a particularly awful comment on one of the LW stories. Out of interest, I looked at some of the other stories from the day and the same user had commented...

The user is called "Desecration" (ironic). Here are (a few of) their comments from different stories in the last two days alone:

- Diversity of any races doesn't work. You either have a "nation" of one people (ethne) or you're screwed and your civilization is dying. lol
- I give praise to Satan and deny resurrection. Christianity is the false religion! So are Islam and Judaism, probably Zoroastrianism. Why is human sacrifice taboo, when so many useless people are taking up space?
- Everyone got AIDS. Diversity still sucks, in any form. Unions and insurance raise costs to consumers. Jesus was half-Roman and smoked a lot of weed. Can I insert any other heresies? Because my soul belongs to SATAN, fuck you God and Christ! haha

I mean, these went through moderation and were deemed OK!?

Reporting/deleting comments does absolutely nothing to dissuade the user from posting such hate, and I'm sure people have seen many other similarly notorious commentors. Their comments get deleted, and they simply continue on other stories.

Why does the site allow such users to abuse what is a wonderful platform for sharing work? I feel like a "Three strikes and you're out" sort of rule would work well, though I don't know the practical implications of such a scheme.

Anyway, rant over.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

The beauty of the innerwebs
I have learned to shake my head and scroll but feel shity for the undeserving targets.

I believe that the difference between humans and animals is simply that we can express ourselves and not only that: we can even record complex feelings in written form. Of course, there is a wide range of feelings and ways to articulate them. This can be overwhelming for some people.
And some people are just wankers.

Soooo many wankers

Soooo many wankers

Isn't that the whole point of this site?
Maybe some just didn't get the memo about what type of wanking.
