What if there was a function where people could click a report button, and instead of sending a message to the mods, it would add a vote for banning them, and once someone had say 10 votes, they would automatically get banned for 1 day, and the mods would be PMed and asked to review it. i think this would work great for spammers, as it would mean that their spamming could be stopped on first post, rather than allowing them to continue until a mod logs on. what do you think? EDIT: im not talking about permanent bans, just 1 dayers that will be enough to discourage spammers, and give mods a chance to clean up before they make a mess of every thread. any users that abuse it by conspiring to ban their opponents(especially in WE&P this could be a problem) have their voting ability stripped.
There's potential for abuse, i.e. a calculated ambush on one member by an organized group. Then again, sending a PM to a mod for review is a good measure against that. I further propose that a reason should be given for voting to ban someone, or at least the username should be recorded. That way, abuse can be punished.
Fuck it. I think we should just elevate Ophiolite to living god status and call it a day. But I call dibbs on the priesthood.

Then unpopular opinions would be banned, and you'd have factionalist warfare raging across the board. Not that that is a bad thing! :m:
It could work. The religion section would be taken down to 9 christians arguing against 9 muslims and 9 atheists. which would take up less bandwidth then 900 of each arguing
You've shown your hand too soon. I know you are secretly planning to overthrow me. I anticipated this. In a moment you will hear a knock at your door...........
see my edited post. before the system even started we could remove priveledges from those wo know will abuse it. once all the initial abuse had been resolved(abusers losing their vote) it could work just fine
Yes, I like that - guilty until proven innocent, "do it to them before they do it...", etc. Very democratic. I vote myself the new 'Head of Torture and Light Entertainment', with sole responsibility for mutilating people in increasingly humourous ways.
