[16:38:42] <majora> could we think of a way to maybe keep people on track such as in threads like this <https://www.facebook.com/groups/wearehx/permalink/1723418671235984/?comment_id=1723736821204169>
[16:38:49] <majora> obv heavy moderation is
[16:39:05] <majora> but this person knew what they wanted and then a bunch of people basically decontributed by saying linux
[17:12:21] <iangcarroll> don't think idk
[17:12:25] <iangcarroll> whoops
[17:12:29] <iangcarroll> idk
[17:13:24] <iangcarroll> not sure if there's a better way than telling them to not
[17:22:04] <gsingh93> i think we should say something about it
[17:22:13] <gsingh93> at least tell them not to
[17:22:37] <gsingh93> unless they provide more context then just saying "Linux" when someone says "Please don't say linux"
[17:26:01] <iangcarroll> Frank did
[17:26:06] <iangcarroll> Maybe twice, I forget
[17:31:34] <majora> yeah

[18:03:27] <gsingh93> maybe we should put that in the content policy?
[18:04:47] <iangcarroll> what would we put in there?
[18:05:15] <iangcarroll> not that it's not possible, but i'm not sure how to phrase it
[18:10:45] <gsingh93> we might want to reference the specific case where someone says "what x other than y" and people give "y" with no other info, or when people say "please don't say node.js" and people say node.js
[18:10:55] <gsingh93> i'm fine with people joking around
[18:11:05] <gsingh93> but that joke is old, boring, and just spam at this point
[18:11:12] <gsingh93> of course, that's just my opinion
[18:11:21] <gsingh93> not sure if it's worth putting in the content policy
[18:31:28] <iangcarroll> so would we delete them after commenting to stop?

[18:58:35] <gsingh93> iangcarroll: i don't think so
[18:58:47] <gsingh93> i think giving warnings would probalby be better for this
[19:01:29] <nsgomez> If you're going to specifically add that to policy, you could generalize it with something like "Unless you have something significant to add or refute with, please respect a poster's requests regarding a discussion. For example, do not just post 'Use Node.js' if an author says not to suggest Node.js as a solution."

[19:50:03] <iangcarroll> so, do we ban people after it happens a certain number of times?
