I think that the mod team is doing a swell job. I think that Beetus and Fritz have been great additions.

I particularly enjoy reading the D&D COVID thread, and I appreciate the most toxic posters being either threadbanned or otherwise chased off. It seems like traffic decreases by an order of magnitude with the worst offenders gone and it makes for a much easier and enjoyable read (at least until the next person comes along and riles everyone up and the cycle repeats).

Let occasional low-content posts slide but if it becomes a pattern for a user, take action?

I think this makes sense, but I do recognize it's a burden on the mods to keep track of that sort of thing. I don't expect you to keep a notebook of white noise posters and make tally marks every time someone says something inane and give them a sixer when they hit 5. I think it's reasonable, at least to start with, to just use your judgement and if your brain senses a pattern, take action. If you shut down every post that's not full-throated debate, you seriously hamper discussion because quick asides and comments are sometimes necessary.
