.....are tending to get side-tracked with uncalled for moralising and frequent sniping.

If you write a note like that, I will probably delete it if I notice it, so whilst it would be better not to do it in the first place, I certainly wouldn't bother asking what happened to it.

Can we have a points system as its a motoring site? 3 points for a breach of rules and and stuff, 12 points means an automatic ban. Bigger points for worse offences, automatic bans for serious offences.

A rogues gallery would be nice telling us who has what points and who is banned and for how long!


Can we can we, please please !!!!!!!!!!

I think we'd need an allowance of more than 12 points though RF!

With plus points for making a positive contribution?

Well, I might one day.

If you get to 12 points, can you get off by claiming that your life depends on access to the site?

Do you *really* want a points system? Because if you do we can always employ the moderating equivalent of the Gatso: The Swearfilter.

Every time the swearfilter is triggered you get an email requesting that you confirm who was using your account at the time. Failure to provide this information and your account is suspended. If you provide the info you get 3-12 points. If you confirm that an unregistered person was using your account you get 6 points and the as-yet unregistered person is banned for 12 months.

12 points and instant ban for any post rude enough to trigger a complete deletion by the filter.

As a result of the introduction of this system the moderators will spend their time drinking tea and writing up reams of paperwork to support the points process. You'll never have one around when you need one.

Anyone else see how daft such a system would be?

It would never work as a method of penalising motorists, would it.

Forget all the points nonsense,easiest way to do it is in members profile. add a posts deleted column

ie

Imagos

member since .....2003

number of posts ..1256

number of threads..96

number of deleted posts ..89

etc.

requires no manual intervention by moderator.

I don't really think its something we want a league table for.

Its easier than you think;

If you can't find your note, then we deleted it.

If you can't find anybody's note, then we deleted you.

Or not enough...

I'm all for the wholescale deleting though - it's not worth anyone's time weeding the good from the bad in some threads...there's some stuff in this one that may be getting scissored.... :-)

Anything to get rid of pointless posts from unmentioned people who "just have to" contribute to nearly every post.

Discussion threads... - mfarrow
number of deleted posts ..89


This is going to be tough, as there are a number of occasions when posts are deleted because the whole thread is deleted, and you might be an innocent bystander.

The only time I managed that it was because of a list of Welsh place names. On second thoughts perhaps I CAN see why that would qualify for an instant ban...
