Possibilities I see in the future:
-Automatic, actual carpet ban. Deletion of thread as well.
-Filter for websites, like the profanity filter. I.e, stuff like genericbadsite.com is blocked off.
-IP Bans.
-Moderator Rotations.
-Report Feature powers extended. Can now hide a thread from everyone but the mods. For example, when you click a report, a button such as "Obvious Spam" will be one of the options, and a large amount of this will close the thread temporarily, until a ninja member fiddles with it.I still don't think banning someone before even seeing their post is good moderating, carpet bans shouldn't be something thrown out whenever a random thread goes sour, plus I'm pretty sure they can delete threads already.
Wouldn't be a bad idea, although if someone is really commited to it they'll just use a URL shortener, so it might not be worth the effort.
They also have that but don't apply it in case they ban innocent users incorrectly, it's not fair a whole whatever campus should suffer because one guy is a dick.
Wouldn't making the moderators take shifts turn it into real work rather than volunteer work?
It sounds like a good idea but when you look at report button spam attacks then having the ability to "delete" a thread with the report button just doesn't sound like a good idea.
