As recently reported on OpenBSD's errata page, a problem in the mbuf handling of IPv6 has been elevated to a security issue. This means that OpenBSD now has two remote exploits in 10 years, as already reflected on the OpenBSD Homepage. Theo advises to to update the system (or to block IPv6 using PF as a workaround).

Not really a blacklist feature but more of an ignore feature. Maybe we should ask Adam Scheinberg (http://osnews.com/staff/index.php/source/1) for this feature as he seems to be hacking on the code a lot.
It is the only feature that I really miss from OSNews, my favorite tech news website.

I didn't say any of that. I said that modding someone down to -4 and -5 on a regular basis for saying things that some do not agree with is wrong.
I actually agree with most of what you say in this post.
But the proper channel for dealing with these kinds of issues is face to face, with arguments. Not abuse of the mod system.
I agree with the idea, but in practice it does no good, and it floods every thread with useless posts.
Take a look at the many threads where myself, and others have confronted this troll. It's pointless.
I would be extremely happy if osnews would implement a blacklist feature, so that users could choose to blacklist trolls, taking away the temptation of replying to their inane posts.
