How about something where a reader of the post is the one who identifies a post as offensive (though administration has to agree). This through a post or a button. If no one claims foul, no sanction (an administrator could also object, I suppose).
Also, it would be nice if the poster and the offended were given some time (a day or two) to work things out through discussing the incivility, an apology or retraction.
A system which involves posters policing themselves is more complicated than rigid rules, but better, IMO. It may also be too idealisic and unmanagable, sadly.
