I'm gonna go with ban but not categorically. I'd guess most of us have TC in our RSS feeds. We don't need reposts to HN for every new blurb that comes along. Rarely there is an interesting tidbit that merits discussion here. Rarely. We don't really need to use HN as an aggregator.

That said, the voting system does a decent job of keeping excessive TC off the front page. Lets just agree to think about the kind of discussion that can be had about each TC submission and act accordingly.

I'm reading it in an rss reader, and likes it, it's tech porn. I can live with banning, but I hope for the sake of the readers here that banning be overruled when they come up with some really interesting stuff, which may happen. That makes me a voter for moderation of TC, but against rigid banning.
