Some have turned it down, sure, and rather predictably so, but they were generally not the people in charge. I am more interested in the opinions of admin or Yac and the mod team.

I'd also love to hear what the mods and Yac think. They've been pretty quiet so far.

Janz didn't like it, or, found it necessary. I feel Goofle will also feel the same way. Could be wrong, but that'll be at least two.

Jans have commented mostly on minor details which can be adjusted. I'm still hoping he will see the bigger picture of how implementation of my (slightly altered if needed) suggestion can improve behaviour in general.

I still doubt any sort of system is going to improve the behavior of people. The people causing problems, or at least participating in problematic discussions, which includes myself, won't curb the way they discuss things on here just because they have some infractions, they'll just leave.

Pretty soon it'll just be Trollheart and Neapolitan talking about Robert Frick for weeks.

If infractions become a thing, count me out of being here. The laid back atmosphere is why I like it here.

People who often break the rules would either adjust their behaviour, get banned a lot as a natural consequence of the system and/or leave.

Some might leave, but new members might join and old members who like the change might come back.

As for implementation itself, I would be willing to help out.

I still don't think it's necessary.

Name calling on the board is against the rules. The mods should see such a post and either A) Remove it, or B) Address the issue with the person who made the insult. I've also been in favor of closing a thread for a day or two to let things settle. That usually does the trick.

I just think this opens up a whole bunch of new problems. Let's say something very controversial happens, something that is bound to have players on both sides. If that thread is made, an argument is BOUND to happen. I think this system would potentially prevent people from making a thread in the first place, causing this board to become a boring, stale hangout spot.

We don't have people on here attacking people for no reason. It's ALWAYS in the midst of a discussion that involves a hot button topic like police, race, religion, ect. The mods just need to watch these threads closer. There will always be flair ups in random threads like the Your Day thread yesterday. They just don't happen as often.

I don't think we need a system. I think we're doing just fine. The mods are doing their jobs for the most part and I think the board as a whole is just a bit edgy recently.
