Seriously? Come on.. Even if you've only been half paying attention the last several days, you'd realize that this issue is quite serious and personal to a lot of people. If, when you saw this post, all that came to your mind was a smart ass comment.. Please, next time, keep it to yourself.
I wonder if every user created in the last 7 days should be hellbanned, it seems the vast majority of them are lolcats-/b/ers and other derivatives who found this place due to last week's news explosion.
I'd support this if the hellban expired for new posts in a few weeks. The kind of person who makes such unwanted contributions isn't likely to stick around longer than a week without getting a rise out of people, but a genuine user might.
