Not so...

It takes more time than most off topic posters deserve to delete their junk.

Mods don't always have time to spend on it.

7 day bans just make people mad, and resentful.

Too bad... we can't have "moderator for the day" and let all the cranks have a go at it for a day and see how they like it.

The posting I'm responding to doesn't help matters.
