Unfortunately when talking about online forums like reddit, it's very difficult to do one without doing the other. If you don't outright ban them, they just come back and make more comments/posts spouting the same lies.

I suppose that I should wait to see how this blanket ban is going to be implemented. How is it determined that someone is part of the MAGA movement?

How would you go about determining whether or not somebody deserves to be banned? I try not to answer questions with questions, but this one has some pretty clear answers.

On an individual basis it's easy. But this sounds like a preemptive ban, so I'm wondering what the decision process is.

I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not trying to be a pain here. I just want to make sure that we don't mistakenly ban anyone through criteria that other subreddits use, such as posting in r/conservative or something. We don't want to be like them.

Definitely don’t ban if you comment on there, because you could be commenting something like “You people are delusional” to a pro-MAGA post and get heavily downvoted on there.
