Drop Forget to Expunge the Bad Ones!

Don’t forget! Monday is our favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. For those who don’t know, here’s how it’s gonna go down: Next Monday, send us the commenter page for anyone that should get the axe. No, wait. Send it to Witzbold! That’s his job. You can put in your request at comments@kotaku.com. Though! No ban gloating. Gloating leads to Ban Hammer backfire, which could cause you to get the boot. This is how the world ends, you know, not with a bang, but with a thud. Delightful!

Be Prepared, The Blood Letting Is Coming

Yes, yes. It’s that time again. Time to ruthlessly ban people! That’s right, next Monday (Feb. 25th) is everyone’s favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. While we adore the commenters who add something to the comment section, we abhor the ones who detract from it and spam it with their drivel. We ban here at Kotaku. Ban like crazy. So please do not confuse our comment sections with your run-of-the-mill forum, boards, blah blah. We’re not your buddies! We’re very bitter and mean!! For those who don’t know, here’s how it’s gonna go down: Send us the commenter page for anyone that should get the axe. If we agree (even slightly), we’ll swing. And swing hard. Though! No ban gloating. Gloating leads to Ban Hammer backfire, which could cause you to get the boot. Tuesday we’ll be back better, lighter, strong and faster. Onward!

Hold Me Tight, Ban Monday Begins

For those of you ready to clean house, have we got a day for you! Today is our favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. Our willingness to ban increases twenty-fold as Witzbold helps clean up and clean out. We want to keep the comments section readable (AKA thin the herd), and we want you to help. Here’s how it works: Send tipsATkotaku.com commenter pages for anyone you think should get the boot. Our ban threshold is going to be way lower (hello fanboy trolls!). Nothing is definite, but ban requests from longtime commenters will be given great authority with the hammer. So be sure to include your own commenting profile! Ban Monday ends in exactly 24 hours. Tuesday’s comment section will be lighter, faster, better. Oh yes.

So, The Purge Begins…

It has already started. Today is, yep, Ban Monday. What is Ban Monday? Besides our favourite Kotakuday, it’s an opportunity for commenters to attack each other with pitchforks and knives. In short: You can vote each other off the island! Our Ban Hammer sensitivity has been turned up to max, and we’ll be smashing all damn day long. Yes, the streets of Kotakuland will run hot pink and baby shit green!

After the festive (and necessary) purge, we’ll be back Tuesday lighter, better, faster. Onward!
