Quote - threads here get locked because the mods are incredibly lenient on a handful of people who have made a career out of cross-forum/platform shit-disturbing and trolling.  most make their 'home' in other communities and just moonlight here to stir up shit. if mods started handing out forum timeouts instead youd see a lot fewer locked threads.

'oh, this is your eighth troll post this weekend? may i present you with a 24 hour all-expense paid vacation from Renderosity.'

...but personally i think it would be more amusing to just 'llama' them:  for xx hours every forum post, comment and PM they send - regardless of the text content - goes through as Oorgle (the angry sound a llama makes when it cannot communicate with humans).
imagine the hilarity when they go to bitch at a mod for giving them a timeout and their PM goes through as Oorgle Oorgle Oorgle :)

after being llama'd x amount of times during a given period of time, their avatar is automatically replaced with a llama, they become a 'perma llama' and may never speak again :D

There it is in a nutshell!  AMEN!

I bet basicwiz would give his right arm for the llama mod capabilities!
