I rejected a message from Selina last night, but it appeared to be gibberish, not content. (As in nonsense characters not words - not as in "an incoherent rant")
Not to single Selina out here, but could we have a bit more pro- active rejection of incoherent rants, obvious trolls and the like? We've seen a lot of useful discussion here, but on the other hand there has been a lot of stuff from banned users who simply won't accept that the problem lies with their behavior and not a fundamental problem with the entire edifice of Wikipedia's administration and dispute resolution.
For what it's worth, I generally have not been letting through the posts of banned users who seem to be reiterating debates we've been having with trolls since 2004.
But there's no hard rule, and it basically depends on whichever list admin happens to see the post.
