I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Or it could cost trust points to lock a thread causing critical damage to ones title....Not everyone cares about their title.This is why I think your trust rating should be used to unlock certain privileges. One of those privileges could be the ability to lock your own topic. Of course, since doing that could be detrimental to the community itself (because it's removing access to public discussion), the requirement for gaining that ability should be set pretty high (as any similar ability should).Perhaps a point system? Where executing higher-level actions (such as locking your own thread or, even, moving it to a new forum due to accidental posting) would remove points that you've accumulated due to a long record of not being cited by the Forum Police?
Say a 6-month period of no warnings/bans is one point. And every 6-month period you go without a warning or a ban will continue to earn you said point as long as you, obviously, continued your streak of lawful behavior.
But, if you were given a warning/ban, you would then have to be a good citizen for a year before being put back onto the points system. (You get warned in January of 2012... if you're never warned again you get your next point June of 2013.)
Locking your own thread would cost 2 points. Moving it 3. Embedding an image would cost zero, but could only be done by people with 8 or more points in their...um...bank? Yes, bank.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Now, I understand that I'm getting into the area of "complicated metrics" that True Underdog was talking about but it's just something that came to mind.No no, then people will boos their points and embed blue waffle. It was bad enough the first time that happened...
