They waste time and energy, don't ban, just stab them between the eyes and gouge their brains out with a cute little mini spade.

ThE pOwEr Of SiLeNcEIt's a hard choice. I like the sound of number 4 :p

Seriously, either 1 or 3

So they should either be banned or kept?
You've pretty much covered all bases there haven't you :p

Lol. Well it depends how idiotic/annoying/sectarian they are.

You need a way to measure the levels, e.g if they insult Islam or a person really badly (like what lolswood said to malik) then first time they should get warnings, if it continues then be banned for a while.

Sometimes its amusing and banning would be extreme.

Rawrrs_isarollingstoneThe policy atm seems to be that they're fine to stay until they really bother either 'You' or Ed, and I wanted to know what everyone else thought.

I think that the policy should be refined:

"they're fine to stay until they really bother either 'You'."

but then again I have shown great tolerance towards Lollywood and Metallica in general...

I went for a fifth option of "Something else", I mean who defines annoying? If someone is dangerously secetarian or wants to stir up hatred and trouble rather than a mature debate, then it might be better to warn them first.
I think banning should be left for the most extreme cases.
