The best thing about this style of moderation is most of the chud dorks in your ranks will happily announce themselves as such as soon as you implement it and the signal to noise ratio goes up drastically. It’s my favorite thing about hexbear.
The biggest fault of libs is they don’t realise that Chuds have learnt to weaponise civility. They are so used to libs being willing to “listen to both sides” if they pretend to be “open to debate” that when an actual leftist goes “Lol fuck off I’m not playing your game” they don’t know what to do, get pissy and it makes them look like the unhinged ones.
Libs won’t do this because they want to be civil with the right. This makes them vulnerable to being taken advantage of by the right and suddenly they’ve lost the ability to defend themselves from them.

Reminds me of the Tom and Jerry bit. He hits the dog with a newspaper, then retreats to safety juuuuuuuuust past the line.
The dog is the troublemaker here you see, because he’s being loud and reacting to abuse
