I think we’re not going to do it. it’s too heavy-handed. It doesn't matter to me, because I block most of the trolls, anyway. Just trying to offer the group an option, which I think they should vote on as a whole. A far as it being heavy-handed, it's what all the other successful forums always do.
As someone just pointed out, people can pick and choose among posts, based on the track record of the posters. That someone is a newcomer. Perhaps some of the long-term regulars will weigh in.

It would mean reading all the posts, and making a subjective judgment as to their tone, intent, etc. I don?t have the time, the patience, nor the wisdom for it. But we're all used to you being the bad cop, Rick. I'd do it, but I do not read all the posts and do not want to.

As someone just pointed out, people can pick and choose among posts, based on the track record of the posters. If some folks want to spend a lot of time writing things that most people won’t read, just to indulge their desire to vent, then I guess that’s their choice.
