What would you ban if you could?

In addition to trolls and trolling, how about GIFT?

Admittedly, I have no idea how you might go about banning trolls, jerkasses and fuckwads from the internet... but it's still an attractive concept.

Oh god I hate trolls. Especially like people who spam your inbox,anti LGBT, religious groups, and the worst kind political spam.

Fuckwadry is not as much of a problem if there's no (c)overt funding by dangerous groups behind it.

Sadly I could not possibly be trusted with such power.

Especially if I was given the tools to ensure that what I decreed banned would be so.

Anti-vaccination stuff. If I had absolute power, any parent who refused to vaccinate their child for any reason other than a confirmed medically related reason (child has an allergy to something in the vaccine, child is immune compromised and can't make develop the antibody correctly, child's health is too frail, etc.) would spend a minimum of a year in jail, and the kid would be vaccinated while they were in prison anyway. If they refused to vaccinate multiple kids, the sentence would increase with each one. (2 years for the second, 3 for the third, etc.)

Anyone distributing anti-vax propaganda or vaccines cause autism crap would get a minimum of 5 years in jail for endangering public health, under the same legal rationale as "Shouting fire in a crowded theater when there is none".

That particular bit of bullshit would end pretty fucking fast, I bet.

Oh God, I hate that crap too.

@ post # 7: I've actually had Coca Cola with sugar, and Coca Cola with high fructose corn syrup. IMO they don't taste significantly different (less of a difference than between Coke and Diet Coke, or Coke and Coke Zero) and I wouldn't say one tastes better than the other.

i'd ban banning so that i amongst the fires of anarchy i could establish a true communistic part and form a government-controlled banning economy

and why on earth do you want to form a communist regime? After Leninism and maoism almost caused world war 3, made millions poverty stricken and so on?

Ban guns, to eradicate gun violence. (And yes, I know it's easier said than done.)

I'd ban people blasting music from their car stereos and enforce with extreme perjudice

Why do you have to try and dispute someone's opinion?

i'd banned myself so i can finally sleep peacefully

Smoking directly in people's faces because fucking duh.

I'd probably ban stupid memes! I can't stand how many there are and none of them are funny to me.

Reality

Seriously though, probably people with offensive comments that aren't meant as criticism:

eh, i'd ban nothing. it'd be nice to have the option, but frankly i like the way things work right now

though rap music gets a little annoying.

a little ironic considering you're using an image macro as a profile pic

You okay, buddy?

I'd ban accidentally flying a flag upside down, because shit's annoying, yo.

ban being okay

I'll ban you from banning anything else.

id ban this thread

I'd ban those virus-ad things that pop up, replacing the page you're on with the ad, and disguise themselves as an urgent computer update (I've run into one that disguises itself as an urgent Google Chrome update a couple of times), as well as similar virus-ads (ESPECIALLY the ones that force your computer to download a virus of some kind when they appear, such as malware).

Those ads, if you can even call them that, are so annoying they can cause rage-quits in the worst cases. So yeah, I'd ban them if I could.

The movie Idiocracy.

I'd ban everything out of boredom. Then I'd unban it because I'm The Ditherer.

Also, if this thread actually gets banned, you all owe me a nickel.

Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. Let's move onto another literary fad, people!
