In reply to the discussion: How do you get banned from a group without ever subscribing to [View all]lumberjack_jeff
(33,224 posts)It seems to me that individuals who are no longer members of DU or who haven't posted in a year could be safely removed from a blocklist.
But then again, it depends on your reasons for having a list in the first place. If your purpose in having a huge list is to serve as a reminder of the persecution, provocation and maltreatment your group experiences (fer realz!), and justification for continued vitriol and trolling, then the only problem is a technical one: the host must wait until persona non grata actually posts something.
But the odds of luring Mr or Ms non grata within the host's reach is improved by using half of the HoF bandwidth in meta callouts. Look! 47 names! We're 2% more persecuted that we were yesterday! Now let's target the author of this thread!
