That's beside the point. If your classification system isn't good enough to use on celebrities, it's not good enough to use on regular people either - bans are just as annoying for them, even if they have less voice to complain.


I'm not sure what the point here is other than that bans are annoying? Also, I don't think it was suggested to use a classification system with no bans?


People aren't objecting to the fact that the rules misclassify people sometimes. They're objecting to the two-tier system that lets celebrities avoid bans but doesn't let regular users do so.


I think you may have missed something in the post chain? Those are both the same thing in this context.
