I'd like to continue on this for anyone who's reading it and cares.

Also just keep your [censored] mouth shut.

Meaning: Before you ban some terrible poster, don't make a "OMG DRAMABOMB I'M THINKING ABOUT BANNING THIS GUY" post or poll. Then, when you've banned him, don't then make a "OMG DRAMABOMB JUST BANNED THIS GUY" post or poll.

You just do it and move on.

We have pretty good experimental evidence at this point that this approach works better than others (that involve banning).
