Sounds like a great idea! Also, kinda like how the warning system on Aol Instant Messager works, could there be a way to limit the number of postings of a user per day that has fallen below a set "acceptance rating"? And then, like Raydar said, have the old votes fall off as new ones are cast? Hmm wait, just had an idea! How about each user can have, say, 25 votes under their user names. When someone rates them again, the first vote put in that "box" is removed, and they all "slide" down, so there is only a max of 25 votes that make up the acceptance rating of a user? I hope someone else understands what I'm trying to say other than me  Still, it definatly sounds like a great idea. Hopefully, though, we wont get threads started that say "Let's boot *username*" to try to get people to gang up on someone. I would definatly give someone negative feedback for starting a brand new thread like that, whether merited or not.

Cliff, I basically like the idea and think a way to deal with the big troublemakers is a long time coming. I would love to hear more about the refinement. Exactly how the voting would work... something like a set number of votes in a certain time frame, or based on negative votes per post (an average... like if high % of your posts get negative votes?) Its a good concept, but a lot of thought needs to go into it. You wouldn't want someone who is an overall good contributor to get booted off because he felt ended up involved in a flame war or two either. I guess what I am saying is we want to limit the "colatral damage" to quote our military. Most of these new troublemakers also have a low number of posts... since they appear and cause trouble right away! How about a rating period for the new memberssay for their first 100-250 posts or so. Finally, I think the voting results to be kept private so the whole forum cannot see how many votes have gone against a certain member. If not, it may encourage people to push up the vote totals just because they see some other members believe they are trouble makers. No flames please!! Just a few thoughts! As I have always stated, too much moderation can ruin a forum as quickly as not enough! We must be careful!

Just like e-bay feedback rating system next to the individual. A star for good feedback, a dark cloud for bad feedback.

My flame threads are done, if it's just me you were referring to. I do think the forums are a great source of fiero information, but too many people bash and belittle anyone who drives anything but a fiero. That is ignorant, close-minded and just wrong.

You really don't think I would go through all that trouble for one person, do you?  We've had our share of "difficult" members in the past, and most of them cleaned up their act in time. This is just a way to speed that process up a little.

Sounds like a great idea, however how are you going to stop a person that gets booted from signing up under a different name to envoke revenge on whomever he runs into. ------------------

Hi,
Sounds like a good idea if you can keeep the 'punished' from resubing under another new name. Hopefully nobody stops posting here because of people who like to flame. I really enjoy reading Archie's (the V8 Man) posts and really would hate it to see him leave. I agree somthing needs to be done.
