This subreddit no longer hosts a culture war thread. (Speaking of which, here's this week's thread over at /r/TheMotte, where many of this sub's mods and users have continued those discussions.)

But many of the people who were banned from this subreddit were banned specifically for losing their heads one too many times in the no-longer-here culture war thread, despite being perfectly reasonable most of the time and on all other topics. Maybe we ought to extend a general amnesty to those people (and, for simplicity, everyone else banned before the move).

People who were un-banned under this policy and resumed being bad would get permabanned again quickly. And we would do it gradually, so as not to cause a flood and in case it seemed to be going poorly.

Please do not use this thread to complain about specific users.

What do you think?
