Every contributing member here owes a big debt of gratitude to the mods because they are volunteering to make an effort for the sake of this community.
Even after reading this thread, I'm still ambivalent about the issue of being stricter about MB rules. Tore makes some very good points, but as Goofle says, what we have at present seems to work pretty well in general. If the mods felt that tore’s infraction system would help, I’d be fine with that too - or trying it for a month as VEGANGELICA suggests. Tweak a couple of the rules tore laid out, lose the "short post" one, and I don't think members would be living in the fear that Trollheart imagines.
However, no mod has shown enthusiasm for the proposal so far, and for me that's the clincher. Tore explained how his system might, at one level, help mods to do their (volunteer) jobs more efficiently, but the mods aren't convinced, and after all they'd be the ones implementing any new system. Whatever they decide is good enough for me.
