Just because you are having an argument with someone and are frustrated with what they are saying does not mean they are breaking the rules. Arguments are allowed because, just like swearing, it is a part of communication and everyone serves to benefit from these privileges.

I have seen too many reports recently where someone has started an argument and ended up reporting all of the respondent's messages in an attempt to get them banned. From this point onward, we will instead just ban the reporter for harassment or false reporting.

I hope you can understand why this was necessary. It is also worth noting that there has been a lot of abuse and witch-hunting in Off Topic recently, which we will no longer tolerate. If you do not like a user, ignore them instead of bullying them or telling them how much you dislike them on every thread they post.

I have not terminated anybody yet, but there are a handful of users that are very close to this point (and I am sure you will assume the wrong names). Make Off Topic a more habitable environment or we will start acting on it.
