No. The problem is that while cutting out noisome people, it would also mean
excluding legitimate users.

Already done as I read below.

It's too easy to sidestep such measures.

That is not up to a moderator.

This would mean moving out of the realm of moderation into that of government.
Again, it should be mentioned that any and all members are thoroughly encouraged
to propose ideas that could make CCC a better please to hang out at. This
shouldn't be seen as something dependent of a moderator. If you (any) voted or
wished to vote, then you believe in or, at the very least, enjoy this community
and should feel free to actively participate in it and its well-being.

Obviously people's tastes vary, though it is just as obvious that cretain
threads are indeed recurring and no doubt tiresome to many. Still, I don't see
this as reason to impose a censorship on them. Can you imagine how that would be
in the bill? --->
Deleting Policy
- Posts subject to being deleted are those that are extremely off-topic,
personal attacks, and any mentioning Deep Blue or Fischer. These last because we
are sick of them.
Remember that not all have seen or read the much rehashed arguments, and then
there are still those who never tire of them. If people post to them, then there
is interest, and who am I to decide what is interesting or not?
