    A 'STFU' button would be quite good. If somebody is advertising or making a nuisance of themselves in general you'd hit the 'STFU' button.

    Depending on the number of 'STFU's received, different punishments would be handed out. An example -

    1 'STFU' = After posting you'd have to wait 5 minutes to post again.
    2 'STFU' = You'd have to wait 15 minutes, your avatar would change to a dunce hat.
    3 'STFU' = 30 minutes, dunce hat avatar and derogatory user title.
    4 'STFU' = 24 hour ban and added to a wall of shame.

    I like that idea. I like it a lot. Similar progressive humiliation should be used for those who set out to bore us, or who use big words without understanding what they mean (both far greater sins in my eyes than spammed ads or trolling teens).

    It doesn't seem like a clear-cut majority wants to abolish the infraction system. What do we make of this?

    dude, 1 vote more is not clear cut.

    you admit that the 2000 us presidential elections were clear cut, then?

    Well, it doesn't sound to me like a convincing triumph?

    But a triumph nonetheless?

    (Just an observation - excruciating indecision caused me not to vote.)

    Administrator's Notice:

    This was close shave indeed!

    15:14 is the final result of this poll.

    SF Abolitionists won their opponents SF 'Retain with or without changes' in really tight game.

    (Crowd at the stadium sings: Walk on through the wind,
    Walk on through the rain,
    Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
    Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone,
    You'll never, ever walk alone...
    )


    I would love that more members were involved in voting.
    Anyway, I shall abide the results and abolish the infraction system.

    Cheers!
