> I think that posters certainly can propose systems to Dr. Bob. Your proposal calls for suspensions (blocks) and mandatory civility buddies. I don't think Dr. Bob is opposed to either of those.
Dinah,

The system does have two blocks in it, but that is all. That could be substituted with instead of the two blocks that the poster goes to the submitting of all future posts to a deputy and coupled with that, a fine of $50.00 U.S. would need to be paid to continue to post. As to where that money could go would be to a charity of the member's choice .
This IMO could be another way to enforce rules that leaves out blocking.
The psychological/emotional aspects are that the member does have an incentive to be in accordance with the rules or his/her rating will be evident. The rating number could also be used as a guide for other posters in relation to having dialog with them. The rating could also be reversed by another system to restore a member's standing.
This is not all my idea, but I think it could go a long way in relation to the issues expressed here to help this community by shifting to my system. After all, shift happens, does it not?
