Wow, quite a post Rant. I agree with it for the most part. There needs to be some changes here. There needs to be a set definition of what constitutes spamming, flamming, etc. Then the mods can go from there. What I was thinking was maybe the blacklist has to be approved by a second, or third mod (if it's serious enough, Achronos). Both mods could interprit it differently and give there side of the argument, and involve the member a bit too. I know it's sounding more like the Supreeme Court more than a game designer's forum, but I think it could help.
I like Recon's idea, but my question is, will the member be able to see his own blacklist level? If he/she didn't know what their level was, they could be more reluctant to post some things.
I also think IP banning would help a lot more than perma-bans. A few days ago someone in the Flood made some post about the noob of the week awards. Then if he/she got banned, they would make another account, and repost it. I don't know any of the technical stuff behind it, but I know there's a reason Achronos doesn't do that.
There are IP bannings, they are just rare.
