"Punish the perps", Just how would you propose that? I've been here about seventeen years total and Cheryl tried everything under the sun to try and get everybody to get along. Most of the time moderation worked. Ideally, the problem member learns to post without insults and their post will get approved by a moderator. Then that member is taken out of the queue and doesn't have to wait to be approved. Believe me, moderators don't like spending their time reading posts in the queue line and approving them. We still can temporarily ban members from a thread. But the problem is, people can easily work around moderation by simply creating a new account. As I have explained before, only an Administrator has the power to put people in and out of moderation. We are currently running this site without one and will never have access to Cheryl's computer. An Administrator's Control Panel is different from a Moderator's, we will never have the same level of permissions. Until this site changes ownership, that isn't going to change. Most grown adults simply ignore people they don't care about, they scroll on by. If you can't handle that, use the Ignore feature. That is its purpose. Banning members or throwing people in moderation as a punishment simply does not work in the long run and never will. This topic is like beating a dead horse. You have two options that have been explained repeatedly, and you still log onto this site and chose not to use them.
