ttk2 has discussed at length various reasons he has for the banning. He has also explained that he wishes there was a way for the community or some automated system to 'balance' OJDs impact on the subreddit readers in a way that is analogous to how the behaviors of different players are balanced 'in-game' with the carefully selected set of plugins.

A basic expectation in evaluating the impact imposed on a reader who does not like to see OJDs post is that said reader has made a legitimate attempt to minimize the time spent looking at OJDs posts. For example if a number of readers spend several minutes looking at OJDs posts and getting themselves angry, we can not count that time as being imposed by the imbalanced OJD any more than we could call OJD imbalanced in-game should hundreds of players offer themselves up for the slaughter. If we want to understand the impact OJD has on his "captive audience"(ttk2's words) we can only count the time that OJD would take from readers who both do not like to see what he posts and also make a reasonable attempt to minimize the amount of time OJD has them as a "captive audience".

As an example I will assume that a reasonable attempt at ignoring OJD by his "captive audience" is represented by using using RES to ignore OJD. This takes about 3 seconds per user, which leads me to some rough calculations on the basic impact we can hold OJD accountable for:

Lets assume that half the subscribers have seen at least one post by OJD's and did not want to see it. At the moment that is 1241 users. For each of these users, we can hold OJD accountable for the 3 seconds it would take them to ignore OJD for a total of 3723 seconds of time loss imposed by OJD.

Now lets look at how much time the community may have voluntarily devoted to OJD, this portion of course we can not hold OJD responsible for.

In the last week approximately 70000 characters have been typed on this subreddit in 5 threads I looked at relating to the banning of OJD. Assuming that on average these characters were typed at 150 characters per minute, that amounts to 28000 seconds that the community voluntarily spent on writing about the banning of OJD.

For each of these threads, I will assume that the number of people who read the thread is about the same as the number of votes.(some people read the thread without voting, some people vote without reading, so this is a fair 'orders of magnitude' guess.) Tallying the total characters read for these threads gives about 4500000 characters relating to the banning of OJD that the community voluntarily read. Assuming an average reading speed of 1100 characters per minute, you get about 250000 seconds of reading. Lets also assume that only half of this time was spent by people who don't want to see what OJD writes, and therefore can be reasonably expected to have not wanted to deal with writing and reading about the issue in the first place, and are only doing so because of the extrinsic motivation of making sure OJD stays banned, affirming the ban was a good precedent, etc.

The result is that the amount of time devoted to OJD in order to affect and maintain the prevention of OJD imposing time loss on readers dwarfs the time loss we can reasonably hold OJD accountable for by a factor of 40.

In summary if you spent the time to write a post(or to read such a post in agreement) about wanting OJD banned from the subreddit because he has an 'imbalanced' effect on readers, you are being silly. In order for your in-game behavior to be analogous to your reddit behavior, you should flock to OJD in-game and let him slaughter you. To continue the analogy, if several of you were to do this the administration would have no choice but to determine that OJD is also imbalanced in-game, and would therefore ban him from the game.

qualification: I agree that in practicality users can not be expected to ignore posts that they don't like, even if failing to ignore those posts is inconsistent with their claimed interests and with basic rationality. I agree that for this reason it might have been in ttk2's best interests to ban OJD. I think that we must not forget that the reason this is the case is that a portion of the community is behaving in a way that is fundamentally irrational. The banning should therefore be viewed as a rational step by ttk2 to save a certain portion of the community from the cost of their own irrational behavior.

Btw I am new here, hello.(I have been on the server for 3 days, and from what I can tell it's mostly about people talking about OJD,(who really shouldn't be talked about because he's a racist troll?) so hopefully I am fitting in just fine.)

TL;DR: A rough estimate shows that people who felt OJD's impact on the reddit was 'imbalanced' and wanted him banned because of it may have voluntarily spent around 40 times as much time reading and writing about OJD than the basic time loss that would be imposed on them assuming they only spent the time required to ignore OJD. Given these considerations, a view might be taken that the entire enterprise of discussing what to do with OJD(and ultimately banning him) was largely circular/nonsensical. Of course there are other considerations, this is just a simple model of the situation meant to give some perspective.
