seriously, though, I understand that most of the dupes recently have been causing problems and all, but not all of them have caused problems. Just a suggestion, but wouldn't permabanning the dupes that cause problems be better than going all out and banning them all?

=l Once again I see you've failed to actually read the argument stated on the original petition. The amount of disruption caused by the dupes is not the only reason, but rather the bigger problem being that since humour is completely subjective, anyone could make a pointless dupe and call it "humourous" and we wouldn't have the right to tell them otherwise. It's just too problematic of a system and there's no good fix for it, so the best thing to do is ban them outright. And once again I see that you've failed to understand what I am actually saying. This is getting rather old. Anyway, I've read the whole thing, understand it, bla bla bla etc. etc. So what about humor that the general community understands as humor? Like the president dupes, those were fun. Also, nothing can be perfect, and people are never going to stop making dupes, so I fail to see how banning the existing ones is going to help.

Also, I can't wait to see what happens when a new user comes, is immediately accused of being a dupe, and is banned without giving him a chance for him to explain. Cause it sure looks like (notice I said /looks like/) you guys are getting ultra paranoid about dupes.
