Off-Topic Forum Suspension Disussion

[Steelforge]

Joe, would there be an effective way to ban specific members for a period of time from the OT forum rather than punishing everyone?

One of the other forums I visit (http://bbs.scoobynet.com/forum.php) has an 'Infraction' system running. Whereby if someone finds a post offensive (there are rules set out) they can 'Infract' someone by clicking the 'Yellow/Red Card' icon on the post. The poster gets an infraction for that post, and it stays live for x number of days. If that person receives a certain number of infractions within a certain period, they get automatically banned from posting for a few days. During a ban they can still read the forum as normal, just not post.

Here's my infractions, as an example (don't ask).
