A post reporting feature may come in the future for the sake of forum post quality.
This is where users can flag any individuals' post as disruptive, irrelevant, offensive, etc... and an administrator can look at how many people have flagged the post and can take appropriate action.
While not banning outright, I have been thinking of a rating penalty system, where a percentage is taken away from their rating.
Each offense will add 10% to the penalty percentage.
The amount of rating taken away, or the penalty is as follows: (Current Rating+100) x Penalty%
So if a user has a rating of 75 and they have been disrupting the forums with image macros, useless YouTube videos. Their post may be reported and an offense is registered with the Zenius database. The site will add 10% to that user's penalty.
The user's new rating will be as follows:
New Rating = Current Rating - Penalty
New Rating = Current Rating - ((Current Rating + 100) x Penalty%)
New Rating = 75 - ((75 + 100) x 10%)
New Rating = 75 - (175 x 10%)
New Rating = 75 - 17.5
New Rating = 57.5
Offend ten times, and get 100% and this is what happens to the user:
New Rating = 75 - ((75 + 100) x 100%)
New Rating = 75 - (175 x 100%)
New Rating = 75 - 175
New Rating = -100
-100 means an unconditional ban on the user.
Feedback and suggestions welcome as I am trying to make the forums a better place for everyone to participate in.
Another note, 10% penalty will get removed every 2 weeks IF the user hasn't commited any offenses since then.

You're going to have to make sure it doesn't help your rating when it's negative.

Cool.
However, couldn't this be abused even more so than the -5's given out for stupid reasons?

The flags would be evaluated by Al. Posts with a high number of flags have a higher chance of getting a penalty.

So this is why it took you so long to make this thread.
Thi doesn't seem like a bad idea, though it may have the potential to be abused.
There's a difference between seeing how many users flag a post and which users flag a post. One can simply make multiple accounts to flag a post - stupid I know, but it can happen. Rather than ask a question, I'd like to be corrected on what I'm thinking: the administrators wll be able to see who flags a post, right?

Sounds like an awesome Idea Alan :-D
I do agree with silent though, I see there being a problem with people abusing this.
As long as when someone is flagged, you review it before final judgement of a penalty I think it will work out great

I thank pandy for reminding me. Quoting people without adding to the discussion, followed by a bunch of members quoting the same thing: does it count as a offense as well?

I added QFT now, is that better?This gets me a little worried. Not that I'm going to be flagged for every little screw up I do no matter who big or small (you know who you are), but it's almost fraughting to post. I'm talking to the point where some people will be so paranoid, that they will not post. I am liking how you REALLY have to screw up for your points to go way down and it has to be reviewed by Al.
This is a very risky move I must say.

...Now instead of selecting from categories, may I suggest having a text input so that one could enter their own reason for flagging? It's hard to explain my logic behind how it would be better over just selecting a category, but one thing I do know is that one could explain more in detail why he/she flagged someone else (for example an minor argument that progressed into a huge argument in a thread)
This could actually work out, because anybody on this site can easily click a link to flag someone without giving much care/not even knowing/following "the crowd".This way it would actually narrow it down to explaining the actions of the user flagging the person's post.

Not only that, It would be revived by Al. So someone can't just say "Flag this guy, he did not put a period at the end of his post" or "This guy is a moron, flag him".
OR
Something I just thought of. For a post to be a flagged, it has to be flagged so many times. This way we don't have member A bullying member B. Example: a post has to be flanged say 5 times by different members to have User Rating Penalties.

Obviously.
Alan knows better so he'll ignore those.
