Alternative to the * system

[mattw]

why is it that OOT is the only forum that feels it needs to outwardly embarrass and punish bad posters? a simply lock with a courteous explantion will suffice. a mod can keep track of bad posts in the posters notes. if the abuse continues, then more severe action may be appropiate.

allowing the posters of OOT to vote will lead to more cullins, desevredly or not. some of the better posters have exiled from OOT but when you consider the average age of OTT'ers teenager to early 20's, its easy to understand mature posters dont fit in.
