Although the issue has sort of past - a fair manner of banning members, to my knowledge at least, has yet to be arrived upon.

My suggestion is to institute a method similar to that of the driving demerit system. Someone high up the food chain could devise a list of offenses and the corresponding demerits attached to the felony. A certain amount of points equal unconditional banning - none of this temporary banning stuff. This will hopefully discourage troublemakers once-and-for-all as they have a fair warning of impending doom.

Opinions? :confused:
 
Too much work. As far as I can see it, the Modsters have more than enough to do browsing through each and every thread looking (not just) for me and Pringles :trouble:

That and you'll need a scoreboard for 17000 members.. Pretty big Excel sheet..

Just ban them after a couple of warnings or 3.... (If you don't get it by then I doubt you'll get it when you only have one point left...)
 
I think that:
1. This system is already in place through the three-strikes policy that is employed by moderators at the moment (barring exceptional circumstances), and
2. This belongs in the Questions and Comments forum.
 
That does sound very similar to the three-strike system we have in place now. The idea of the points, with various offenses as different point values, is good in some ways. However, it would allow minor offenses to be repeated several times over. With our current "three strikes" rule, it discourages any and all types of AUP violations, regardless of severity.

Yea, s'pose the minor offences x 10000 times could be a bit of an issue

Like Dodge said, after three AUP violations, you are banned.
 
2, in most circumstances. But each case is looked at independently.
