How about a new feature that locks everyone in a locked thread for a certain period of time, so they can't post anywhere ? A temporary lock-banination. That might make people think what and where they post.

On a second thought, most probably don't care. Long live the replacment nicks...

1. Why was this in the lounge instead of feedback?

2. Sounds like a great idea, but we don't have the programming resources to add substantial features to the software.

Heh. I can just see Detrius making some snarky comment, locking the thread, and then screaming when he finds out he can't post for a week.

Of course, what would happen to someone who posts a reasonable answer then the thread falls apart into nonsense, is locked and the person is locked out. Why stay around the site?

That's the fun part. It's like russian roulette. You never know if you are still alive the next second...

MacNN is not a game.

It's real life.
