Damn straight! Id ban you right now bitch!

j/k

I have a better idea. We can put the VG$ to good use. 1 day = $500 (note, user bans don't take away other users money)

...and I'd ban you for having a guy that plays in a wannabe Bond series as your avatar.  Can't everyone see why this would not work? 

I think fanboys should be given the option to give themselves permabans.

I'd rather limit the caps of people with 100 (or 500) or less posts. No images, or even no HTML.

How about a "rating" system for posts? People can give a thumbs up/thumbs down, and if a user/post gets enough thumbs downs... it gets hidden/blocked?

or better yet, we use the power of VG$ to influence posts. $100 to edit the post. $10 to block/show.

(yes, I am trying to buy my power)

No. It's the work of mods and there is no reason that users will have to do it.

It'd be better to hire more mods instead. They actually take the stuff seriously, for the most part. Allowing powers due to posting amount only means spammers and non serious people have an easy time, and it would encourage even more spamming.

Is my opinion anyway.

The rating system sounds good, most sites implement them well, though it may be abused to the extreme, for example, if I go into a Halo discussion thread and say I don't like it and give my reasons for it in a rational post, it may be voted down just 'cause my opinion is "impopular". But in most sites the rating up/down works pretty well, so it may not be a real problem. Jus be sure that not every average joe can vote up/down, maybe require some number of posts (100 sounds good)

Though I'm still partial to the idea of letting normal users give 1 day ban, 5000+ posts and no bans sounds fine for me

You joking? high post counts dont mean they know what they talking about. Dumb idea
