Hi Peter,

I'll offer a general reaction only...

For myself I particularly like the concept of "exclusion" from the thread, (UT) forum or the UT in full.
I also like the concept of read-only access for members excluded from a forum specifically or the UT in general.

While your proposal looks quite elaborate, I do think that this may constituite the "next level" of trouble handling for moderated forums. It may represent quite a bit of work for the UT ownership, but their doing it would surely become the "leading edge" in the handling of this kind of issue.

I am not a big fan of anonymous complaining but I guess it must be there.

Jim
