A method to get rid of trolls and crapposters

[Agnostic Bear]

Basically here's the idea: you have some kind of system set up to allow public banning of people, e.g they vote for who they want banned.

It would have to be private (e.g they can't see who's voted for who, nobody's allowed to tell anybody who's voted for who etc) and have admin / smod approval, but it would stop at least 80% of the crapposters on this forum that constantly annoy people.

So say they don't like someone, they go and vote for them to be banned, when say, 30 people have voted for this one person an admin goes through, make sure there's no fake users setup for the purpose of banning and looks around at their posts, makes sure they're getting negative responses on most of their posts, then says yes and the user gets kicked out of the forum (and can't return, would be good) this would simply allow for the forum to sort itself out and get rid of the worst posters improving both the forum atmosphere & the quality of posts.

Although it would have to be moderated on a neutral basis, something I doubt most of the admins / smods on this forum could do (favouritism with members of the forum etc)

VOTE ON THE POLL.
VOTE THREAD 5.
(then go hog wild)

In most cases its obvious what such a post is, but if your system was abused to get rid of someone a small majority disliked or simply disliked the meaning of the post... or were simply "working towards" understanding the post. then that woudn't be far.

Everyone has a right to share their opinion... if there opinion is complete rubbish aimed at attension seeking then true their opinion should be moved to another area of the forum and the member who posted it sent physiological help.

But the current infractions & Ban system although flawed in quite a few ways still works
