(As for hiding malicious purposes … well, the same applies for real, offline life. The inability to detect malicious thoughts shouldn't prevent you from trying to block the clearly malicious intent, as stated in the meta question here.) | |
| Apr 28 at 17:01 | comment | added | AlMa1r | @JW0914 No, banning the user's e-mail address will make it harder for the user to continue posting, though not immediately. Reason: these days, it is hard to obtain new e-mail addresses with no strings attached. While a user can register a fresh e-mail address and get a new account (say, at yahoo.com), he/she will usually have to get his/her contact data verified (e.g., a phone number or another e-mail address). This applies even to the e-mail services in the countries such as Russia, considered enemy nowadays. The state can even track the users of the throwaway e-mail addresses though IP. | |
| Feb 25 at 12:19 | comment | added | JW0914 | I'd like to believe 99.99% of folks have an intolerance to Nazi viewpoints, and I understand the point @Gantendo is making, yet unless the user's including their views in a question (which has been deleted and I can't view), banning/suspending them isn't going to solve anything - a new account will be created by the user and the question asked leaving out the viewpoints. This applies to pretty much everything - I've come across questions where there's a strong possibility the question being asked is for malicious purposes, but with no clear indication. That's a slippery slope to go down | |

unless there's a clear interaction or reproduction of that content on the site dude posted a link to a nazi website... Imagine being Jewish or LGBTQ+ on SU/SE (or any other site where posting a link to a nazi website gets you only a 7 day suspension and the person who reported the nazi gets threatened with a block for using the word that starts with s and means poop)
