once again, a call for common sense would be needed...Should this be the action taken, Mods most likely be flooded by irrelevant pm's to the mods, who would post less because being busy reading pms...it's a tough nut to crack, but through discussion, I'm sure we can find an agreeable solution...keep the feedback coming

at the end of the day we are all members and have to all do our bit perhaps we all need to think a little more before we post and perhaps some people need to think alot more before they post.
nothing wrong with good debate but when it gets into a pointless slanging match its a waste of good space.
if people thought before they posted ie stuff like "oh its a blokia" and thats there some contribution. then surley we could cut some of this out if thats your view fine but at least back your view up otherwise it just becomes yet another flame war

You are right orangeman and I do know of other forums who employ both ideas.It is frustrating and the sad thing is it is probably not kids. |

This would mean more work for the moderators. They would have to police every post. You could argue "He/She posted this and got away with it, while I posted that and got yellow." Even if it would be non public there could be leakage. Impossible to draw a line. Feasible ?Yes. Realistic - I don't think so.
On top of that there is free speech and as long as you don't offend anybody that should be honored.
And who can throw the first stone here anyway???
And if you don't like it -> don't read it.

I agree with energetic that mods sending warnings as pm.
But i belive that we should respect the users liberty,unless they post something serious,i mean the things you mentioned or break a esato law.
This is my opinion.

I know I'm goign the other way on this but instead of 'kicking people out', how about a way of show how useful a certain thread is that the average Jo could give a rateing.
Maybe different colours.
It would be a lot of work for Laffen & Co. to intruduce any policing.

by that last line are you suggested that they be kicked out alltogether, i.e. username removed etc or just suspended from using esato for a little while??
personally i think kicking them off totally is a bit extreme.
oooo, i just had an idea. When u get a "red card" you could have say 20 posts removed from ur count. That would deter a lot of ppl who treasure their "prestigous" post count. Thus reducing the total amount of pointles post. It wont eliminate it altogether but its a step in the right direction. Its kinda like a sanction.

Hmmmm . . . Looks like Esato's Discussion Forum would like to be transformed into a Soccer Game by @orangeman here  About those yello-red card, 3 hits/violations and you're out ideas, if that will be implemented in the very distant future - then I guess my days are already numbered here at esato  ! Looking back, I remember getting some sort of a warning from &^%$*& - I guess I already made a 3 'red 'lights' in my pms - so, that would just mean an ejection on my part as an esato member - right  But I do agree, that there are some kiddos here who posts better than some of our mature members (me, included)! Very well versed people indeed  The 'pm' thing would still do the job for the erring members I guess  It is more likely/favorably to reprimand members privately than ridiculing them in public It will surely be the talk-of-the-town scenario here at esato if ever! I don't agree with the original plan
Also, with the Nokia vs SE comparison of products, I guess that should be left as an open debate here at esato. Admittingly, SE fones is far superior with those of Nokia fone models, but fone comparison should rest amongst the discretion of the members here at esato - let us not just forget that members are not 'obliged' to reply negatively with Nokia fones specs by any standard It should just remain to be a friendly debate till the end

I would say no to a total ban. But I know that ip addresses can be blocked.
@gazzaa - which forums are those - I will check them out

A system like that could fall both ways.
1. The "offender" takes the hint and calmes down. (Wich is the intention)
2. Members could squeeze others out of Esato by winding someone with a yellow card up to say stupid things that will make the red card come out.
The idea is not bad at all but I don't think it would work.

i like this card idea.
but i think there should also be a gold and silver card for members who've been doing a great job.
and after awhile people with yelow cards should be redicussed so the card could be removed.
so in other words i'm FOR this
