				Hooray! Our favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday, has finally arrived!! While we don't have any problem banning on regular days, we turn up the Ban Hammer sensitivity to MAXIMUM on Ban Monday. For those who don't know, here's how it's gonna go down: Send us the commenter page to commentsATkotakuDOTcom for anyone who should get the axe, err, hammer. You can put in your request at commentsATkotakuDOTcom. No ban gloating. Gloating leads to Ban Hammer backfire, which could cause you to get the boot. And that would be very embarrassing. We'll be back to normal on Tuesday, lighter, faster and better. Hope to see you on the other side.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5052881/ban-monday-begins" title="Click here to read more about Ban Monday Begins!">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Yes, yes. It's that time again. Time to ruthlessly ban people! That's right, next Monday (Feb. 25th) is everyone's favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. While we adore the commenters who <i>add</i> something to the comment section, we abhor the ones who detract from it and spam it with their drivel. We ban here at Kotaku. Ban like crazy. So please do not confuse our comment sections with your run-of-the-mill forum, boards, blah blah. We're not your buddies! We're very bitter and mean!! For those who don't know, here's how it's gonna go down: Send us the commenter page for anyone that should get the axe. If we agree (even slightly), we'll swing. And swing hard. Though! No ban gloating. Gloating leads to Ban Hammer backfire, which could cause you to get the boot. Tuesday we'll be back better, lighter, strong and faster.

				 For those of you ready to clean house, have we got a day for you! Today is our favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. Our willingness to ban increases twenty-fold as Witzbold helps clean up and clean out. We want to keep the comments section readable (AKA thin the herd), and we want you to help. Here's how it works: Send tipsATkotaku.com commenter pages for anyone you think should get the boot. Our ban threshold is going to be way lower (hello fanboy trolls!). Nothing is definite, but ban requests from longtime commenters will be given great authority with the hammer. So be sure to include your own commenting profile! Ban Monday ends in exactly 24 hours. Tuesday's comment section will be lighter, faster, better. Oh yes. 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/344320/hold-me-tight-ban-monday-begins" title="Click here to read more about Hold Me Tight, Ban Monday Begins">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 It has already started. Today is, yep, Ban Monday. What is Ban Monday? Besides our favorite Kotakuday, it's an opportunity for commenters to attack each other with pitchforks and knives. In short: You can vote each other off the island! Our Ban Hammer sensitivity has been turned up to max, and we'll be smashing all damn day long. Yes, the streets of Kotakuland will run hot pink and baby shit green! 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/331767/so-the-purge-begins" title="Click here to read more about So, The Purge Begins...">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Heads up, today is our favorite Kotakuday, Ban Monday. We LOVE Ban Mondays! While our hot line is open to ban recommendations at all times, we turn up the ban sensitivity on the Ban Hammer for this special monday. Here's how it works: Send us the commenter page for anyone that should get the boot. If we agree (even slightly), we'll swing. And swing hard. Though! No ban gloating. Gloating leads to Ban Hammer backfire, which could cause you to get the boot. Tuesday we'll be back better, lighter, strong and faster. Know that today is a Surprise Ban Monday, so shhhhhhh. Don't tell the other commenters &mdash; especially, those you want gone. 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/313317/surprise-ban-monday" title="Click here to read more about Surprise Ban Monday!">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Let the blood letting officially begin. As you may or may not know, today is a Ban Monday, our favorite Kotakaday! Our willingness to ban increases ten-fold as we  clean up and clean out. We want to keep the comments section readable (AKA thin the herd), and we want you to help. Here's how it works: Send tipsATkotaku.com commenter pages for anyone you think should get the boot. Our ban threshold is going to be way lower (hello fanboy trolls!). Nothing is definite, but ban requests from longtime commenters will be given great authority with the hammer. So be sure to include your own commenting profile! Ban Monday ends in exactly 24 hours. Tuesday's comment section will be lighter, faster, <i>better</i>. Onwards!				<a href="http://kotaku.com/293549/ban-monday-begins" title="Click here to read more about Ban Monday Begins">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Ah, yes. Good ol' Ban Monday. The best day of the week! Regular readers know and love Ban Monday. Our willingness to ban increases ten-fold as we're game to clean up and clean out. We want to keep the comments section readable (AKA thin the herd), and we want you to help. Here's how it works: Send us commenter pages for anyone you think should get the boot. Our ban threshold is going to be way lower (hello fanboy trolls!). Nothing is definite, but ban requests from longtime commenters will be given great authority with the hammer. So be sure to include your own commenting profile! When does Ban Monday start? Not today, NOT TODAY. Today is not Monday, it's Friday. So don't send us banning requests until next Monday, August 27th. Until then, feel free to start making those lists and checking 'em twice. 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/293369/ban-monday-returns" title="Click here to read more about Ban Monday RETURNS!!">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
