Re: Sinodefence.com Suggestions
Not sure if it is possible with the current software, but I think a useful tool for keeping the big "important" threads on track is to have thread-level banning. E.g. Those who continue to post off-topic things or derail threads can be banned from posting in that particular thread. This is less severe than a forum-wide ban, but allows threads to be kept on track.
Along the same lines, I think a ban from the website doesn't mean anything if the banned person can still view posts. I think banned people should have their IPs disabled from viewing posts, or images and image links.
