| Apr 22, 2014 at 17:41 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @Derfder: writing bad answers is not breaking windows; that's merely making bad windows. Breaking windows is calling anyone that doesn't agree with you a troll, calling people names, blatantly flouting the rules, refusing to accept the rules, circumventing the rules, etc. and not stopping when asked to. | |

| Apr 22, 2014 at 17:19 | comment | added | Derfder | Breaking windows and answering questions not meeting your subjective criteria (it's on moderators and they are human beings not computers) are completely different things. how is offering not so good answers comparable to breaking windows. Sorry, but this analogy is very bad. | |
| Apr 22, 2014 at 17:10 | comment | added | Oded StaffMod | @Derfder - your analogy is flawed. If someone comes to a window factory and instead of helping to create windows, they keep breaking new windows, you seem to say the factory should keep allowing them in. We say no, they should be locked out (ie. banned). | |

| Apr 22, 2014 at 17:06 | comment | added | Oded StaffMod | @Derfder - no. When there are users that are disruptive or that have shown that they cannot contribute quality, then they should be banned in order to stop them. | |
