As for your proposed handling methods... that's a little severe for simple "noise" threads and posts. Nuking should be reserved for outright spam and trolling IMO. I do agree there should be a very visible warning-to-banning escalation process though.
indeed, Randy.
I've relativated my proposal afterwards. It was too drastic.
I've seen that kind of moderation in another forum, but that was a community with just some "leaders" and many, many lurkers (actually a warez forum).
This kind of moderation wouldn't be suitable for our community because here nearly everyone have something useful to say.
But here are so many awesome ideas. I personally like the "fade-out" idea. I'm sure it would provide easier focus on relevant posts.
Also the fact, that everyone can vote (and therefore moderate) helps greatly the work of the moderators.
