What do you think about the possibility to issue a public caution to the users who break the rules of the forum?
It could be like this:
- Admin/Mod button in a topic "Rulebreaker". On an extra page, the admin/mod can insert a text like "defamation of other users".
- On the topic-page, where name, rank etc is displayed, also a note "Warnings: 2" is shown, where people can click on and see what kind of warnings the user got.
- After a time of x days, the warning gets canceled automaticly.
- After x warnings, the user is not allowed to post to the forum anymore.
I think this could help to make people think twice about what and how they write their postings...
Maybe this idea is not new, but I couldnt find a hack like this.
