Idea: Add a warning system to this forum.

Well I know as moderators you guys can't ban people, but this person should atleast suffer a consequence for their actions. Like even someone post something that could be considered trolling, that person should receive a warning, the person should only be banned if they are constantly trolling. Or say the person makes a rude post, they could be warned for that. Each warn would basically be about 25% and if the warn reaches 100% that person would be temporarily banned. This way, things on the forum would stay in much better shape, because instead of just getting away with trolling topics(And I've seen several people get away with this without consequence) and doing things against the forum rules, they would have a consequence for it. If the person knows that by being warned they could eventually be banned, perhaps they'd wisen up. Warns would not stay forever though however, they would expire after a month or so. I know another forum that does this and it seems pretty well disciplined. Just something to consider mods.

depends what you term as trolling.

I know alot of people since i have been here that have been banned when infact as far as i am concerned offered some great tips and life path ideals for guys wanting to score or meet women, just because they did not fit in with the 'grain of thought' or hovered around that, they where considered trolls and banned.

Your idea seems like another police mentality ideal, granted it could work but then i again i question the person who would ask for a trolling guideline, are they trying to push there agenda on the forum or are they stuck in the grain and want to police the forums to keep it like that?

Not come across much trolling on these boards at all, what i do see is a different perspective on things, if poeple cant take a different view point on how things may appear to others, well i think there passing up a good chance to see a situation from many angles, sometime not everyone caters to peoples ego.

What your post should reflect is what you consider to be trolling, since so far your post lacks substance and in that i assume all your post is in an effort to enforce your agenda on others on this board you dont agree with.

I am not a mod, but i like how this board is not affraid to get many angles on a situation, where as other so called better boards are nothing but an extension of there one way system of 'train of thought'.
Even if they do ban people that imo should never have been banned.

The less moderation the better IMO. I've posted at sites where you get a warning, or points, and it's just a farce. This is the internet, it's just words on a screen, and if you don't like what someone says, ignore them.

The only reason I believe someone should be banned is for spamming.

We really try not to police this board, and would rather have less involvement than more. People who troll and act stupid online, well..when you think about it, the joke's on them. We put up with a lot, and don't really mind 'dumb' posters because it's part of the learning/maturity process.
