Quoted from robin:I'm currently thinking about ways to bring down the noise level, one of my ideas is a "thread kickout", where moderators (or maybe the community?) can kick users from a thread for repeatedly making off-topic posts in them.
This would be great. I've ignored a few people, but some threads are full of "ignored posts" and others responding to those posts. So even though I'm not seeing the actual content of that ignored user, they are still ruining the threads.
Another idea: Perhaps some sort of review process for someone who has been ignored by x people. That alone should alert you and your mods to a disruptive force.
Overall I love Pinside, I spend more time here than any other website. You've done a great job with it.
