West Virginia Blue
The Best Blogging Community in West Virginia Democratic politics, progressive policies, the good life and free living in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
Looking back over the site's history, I allowed the trolls too much leeway. Ironically, one of the commenters who often encouraged me to get rid of Republican trolls then became just as disruptive until he too was banned. The small number of people banned before the election weren't banned for advocating for the Mountain Party. When you look back at the archives you can see how many diaries they posted before they were banned. They were banned for making personal attacks on others and behaving trollishly.
Although I don't make the point very often, it says in the masthead what this site is about: "Democratic politics, progressive policies, the good life and free living in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia."
Since the new policy began, I think the level of the commentary, even when disagreements occurs, has improved tremendously.
