Just tossing out ideas here, but why don't we have a group of God users, who we trust. The God users would have the power to temporary ban someone for say a week. (or a month, whatever is necessary).Or delete personal attacks, or Perhaps two of them would be needed, to stop anyone of them going on a rampage, they would be held accountable by the AC and the community.
We could then just let them get on with it.
