Yeah but let's say I was going to ban an unkind person. As I'm about to pull the trigger they say "I'm starting to be nice right now! forget the past!" What should I do?

@OP
That would include about half of the mods too.

Give them the benefit of the doubt and let them stay until they are mean again, then ban them.

But how many times can this be repeated? I go to ban them, they say "I am being nice starting right now! Forget the past! Give me the benefit of the doubt!" So I relent and let them stay. Then they are unkind. I go to ban them and they say "No! I will be nice starting right now! Forget the past!" and so I give them the benefit of the doubt...

Only once. Agree to the new love fora rule, and give people one last benefit of the doubt.

Why would I care what an '80s comedian has to say about this? I was talking to Anonymous A.

I think shtick is pretty unkind. Should that be banned too?

How bout this... Instead of banning users who are "not nice", how bout you ban users who make threads, then abandon them after they are called out?
It's kind of lame to create a thread saying something about someone or something, and then when their claim can't be backed up, they abandon ship. This might also help with the shtick that seems to have been on the rise.
