This has been brought up multiple times before and many folks have
pushed against such a thing happen.

A good example as to why this is a bad thing is that after it was
implemented at Pumping Station: One in Chicago, the amount of drama
filled shit slinging posts went up, people didn't feel the need to
compose themselves when railing on someone since there was a list
dedicated to it, the mood at the space kind of went horrible because of
this.

One very important point of Noisebridge, when (those of us who are still
around here reading thing) we started things off was to be as
transparent as possible, even with the bad side of things, so if others
come along and want to figure out what they'll have to get through to
start a space they can see it through us. If obnoxious drama posts
happen, let them happen. You have the option of ignoring them through
filters (most of you are on Gmail, there's a mute button).

Drama is important to discussion, as it really does give proper feedback
as to how fucked something is regarding the space.

And above all else, technical solutions to censor a social "problem"
isn't a solution.
