Heh, I think both The New Guy and Ket deserved a head smack for that mess they made. Counter trolling is plain annoying.
Any thoughts on implementing (enabling?) a warn system to keep tabs on who's getting warned for what? Something more formal than the three-strikes rule. Members can see their own warn logs as well.
For example:
- 1st infraction: Verbal warning, no other action
- 2nd infraction: +Warn count, no other action
- 3rd infraction: +Warn count, no other action
- 4th infraction: +Warn count, temp ban or posts mod-previewed
- 5th infraction: +Warn count, ban
Good behavior can result in a decreased or wiped warn count. However, extraordinarily stupid behavior can skip straight to banning.
In practice, I think we'd be giving several verbal warnings before a member is actually placed on moderated status. But this will be here when we need it.
