Thats one of those things that always sounds good. But Ive never seen it work well when Ive seen it tried. Posting a private conversation publicly and then declaring punishment doesnt tend to go over well. And having a public trial tends to be more drama than justice.

All in all I think a fast axe and clear statement of "no discussion" creates the least turmoil. We might not want it to, but it does.

But now we have a chance to see another forum tackle the subject.
