Lots of people are being banned on /b/ right now. It's causing quite a ruckus.
Sadly, it's making /b/ even harder to resist reading. They're only explicitly banning four things: "post ending in X decides Y" and camwhores, gay porn dumps, and people whining about the banning of those first three things. And a lot of other things are disappearing as a result: fewer racial slurs, fewer people invading the furry threads.
Only drawback is more furry threads, though I don't really care. That could means that most people don't mind furries that much, and the griefers were the only ones who really ever cared about driving them out.
