By now, many of you would know about Abe Babe's suggestion for a complete overhaul of the warning / banning system that we currently operate on. Essentially, is will make distinctions between the type of rules a member breaks, and adds a system of severity to it.

It kind of doesn't seem fair that someone can get a warning for borderline spam and then another person can get a warning for heavy flaming, and it's all worth the same. At ACF [another forum I admin at] we operate on a scaled warning system. Spam is worth 1-5 points [depending on how bad it is], flaming 5 points, posting porn/hentai 8 points, racist/offensive remarks 10 points, etc. A member has a total of 30 warning points. At 25% they get a one week suspension, 50% a two week suspension, 75% a one month suspension and 100% is a permanent ban.

What I'm really asking for, is the scaling of points for different offences. Basically, a port of the rules that I have quoted from Abe Babe.
And example may be, just as posted above: 1-5 points for spam, based on the severity. Etc, etc.
