Kos banned slinkerwink.
She had 844 diaries published, 62353 comments posted, 168,777 recommends (that works out to be about 2.5 per comment), and she had made 474,700 comment ratings.
She had 841 followers.
Her profile stated that she is a:
Proud, progressive Texan with a penchant for policy issues and politics. Owner of a small business.
I went back through Slinkerwink's last 1,000 comments on the summary screen.
-- Comment 2 had 2 uprates and 16 HRs.
-- Comment 303 had 3 uprates and 7 HRs.
-- Comment 304 had 1 uprate and 9 HRs.
-- Comment 315 had 5 uprates and 16 HRs.
-- Comment 324 had 7 uprates and 1 HR.
-- Comment 556 (a tip jar) had 156 uprates and 2 HRs.
Other than this, in the 1,000 most recent comments, there were NO HRs.
She was (and is, I presume) particularly sensitive to women being called c**ts.
The precipitating event seems to have been comment 2. I have no idea what that was about.
Was banning necessary? Years and years of contributions with only a few rough spots.
