<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I think we need to revisit having the ability for sysops to ban logged<BR>
in users. Maybe the wiki way of doing this is to put the ability into<BR>
the software, but all sysops must agree to use it *only* to ban<BR>
*certain* variants on a known banned troll.<BR>

As much as I would like to see Zog banned, this could potentially lead to horrible flame wars. Maybe a compromise would be to give sysops the ability to ban a logged in user for a set period of time, say 12 hours, until a decision can be reached and a developer can put a longer term ban in place. <BR>
<BR>
Just a suggestion. <BR>
