I ban people who are very obviously here out of hatred for this board, specific users or mods, and do nothing but harass others and shit on the forum. That and stuff that's illegal, as per the rules of win.
We have a relatively small user base. Imagine if we banned everything and everyone we disagree with, like other wins seem to do without hesitation. You might be interested to learn that people who concern themselves with conspiracy theories generally abhor petty censorship.
I don't agree with censoring people who are making posts in somewhat good faith, but may not align perfectly with my beliefs. People who do support that; I question their judgment.
Having said all that, perhaps a limit on daily submissions (only, not comments, nor time limits) posting could be something to trial. I'm not sure we mods are able to implement that though. I'll look into it.
Better than nothing. I wont be arbitrarily banning "suspected marginalizers" and I believe most genuine users would appreciate that, if they gave it some thought.
I hope nobody is asking you to act upon merely your suspicions and certainly hope that nobody has proposed banning people for disagreeing with you about something.
I, personally, would request the ban of egregious examples of hate speech and calls to violence as well as accounts that show a pattern of using deep politics as a pretext for expressing ethnic hatred. Since that behavior is a predictable tactic for enemies of this forum to use against us, coupled with the fact that such things are worthless in finding the truth (and not to mention completely off-topic), whether or not those views are "organic" or a deliberate attack is irrelevant.

The groups out to marginalize this forum will merely create another sockpuppet account to get around this.

That’s a great solution.
So after checking, I can't see an option for mods to do this. So I've made a post to meta about it, to get a discussion going:
