Something like this in fact.

I suppose banning users straight away with no explanation isn't a very helpful solution. Sure it'll be fun but it wont count as an improvement.

An example of another forum(not 110% relevant though) that I'm a part of has all these rules clearly listed which helps. The associated penalties that go with flouting the rules helps even more.

Yes I do think the above forum is a little less tolerant than it should be at times. But I'm sure something in between, suitable to T.M.O can be cooked up

PS: I also think we desperately need more moderators to handle the increased user load.
I would apply to be one but I have no idea where to do that here.. I am on this website at least 4 times a day! and I have forum experience whether it's IPB (that's what I use for my site) or vBulletin (which this site uses)..

Maybe I have to try to contact Reggie?? hmmm.
