I think it would be great if there was a way to integrate a warning system.
It would help to show people when they are doing something wrong. Sort of a three strikes system.
It is a great pitty when a thread has to be locked or deleted because one person ruins the whole purpose of the thread. I think those people's posts should be deleted and they should be warned.
What do you all think?

yes i completely agree...thats an excellent idea,some members just do it for the sole intention of having the thread locked.
Maybe a three strike sytem should also mean a member being banned...would be a good deterrent aswell for trouble makers.

I think that it shouldnt be for just posts but for actions

I agree. actions can also hurt. Especially pms.
The people to decide would obviously be the mods and admins.
I'm sure that they will easily be able to see the purpose of a thread and see if someone is deviating from that purpose.
edit: I'm tired of seeing every single topic axxxr makes being turned into something about religion or war.
When he posts something that is a joke about Bush, people go anal.
If he posts something that is a joke about Iraq, those same people go anal. If he posts something that is a joke about fairies, we somehow end up talking about war.
Those people who have the sole intention of ruining threads should be punished.
Note: Axxxr has not even sent me ONE pm regarding this issue, this is my own personal opinion, and I am not supporting him. If such a thing happened with ANYBODY I'd still support this fact

Its hard to decide, if a certain person or a group, nation etc is focused in a post. Imo thats the source of most misunderstandings.

great idea!
The original se india thread was deleted because some new member posted some links.
This system would prevent such things from happening again  |

Trolling is an unfortunate part of forum life, especially when a forum is as active as Esato. But most trolls get bored very quickly and move on so I don't think that a warning system is really necessary.
Besides, the mods already warn members who are breaking the rules by PM. Maybe what's needed is more deleting of posts that are clearly inflammatory rather than just locking the whole thread. This raises the question of how do you decide what is inflammatory and what isn't, but that's where the mods experience and discretion comes into it.

i think its a great idea as i watched about 4 threads being locked last night in teh non-mobile section, one including the 9/11 thread - one that i perasonally have enjoyed very much, i think the main problem is in people not letting others have 'their view'..... we are all entiltled to our own opinions......
cyco i argee with you in that most do move on, but there will always be a few who enjoy ruining threads - and this is not focused on anyone in particular, i was simply stating what i saw last night......

don't worry, the 9/11 thread is not locked permanantly, and it is one that I purposely left open, because of the general conduct there, following the new rules about such topics
I could see it was going to be a problem last night and I was rather busy with friends so I locked it and simply have not got back to review it in finer detail to decide how it should be handled.
