    A Proposal for Improving CUK

    Ostracism: Ostracism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The ancient Athenians used it as a device to exile individuals who threatened the stability of society. Each year, the people was asked if they wished to ostracise an individual, and if the answer was yes, there would be a ballot.

    I would propose that each month, the two posters with the highest number of infractions received that month (or more than two posters in the event of a greater than two-way tie for 1st place or a tie for 2nd place) are placed in a poll and CUK posters can vote on who should be banned for a month. I feel this would have the following benefits:

    - Discouraging bad behaviour
    - Punishing bad behaviour
    - Removing miscreants from the board

        He must of stopped shaking his head from side to side and his pea sized brain has recovered enough to try and come up with an idea?

          That should be 'must have stopped'. 'Must of stopped' is an incorrect form used by semi-literate cretins who just listen to how they mumble words and then try to write the sounds down as best they can.

                How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                    No it wouldn't.

                    Perhaps you need a break from the forum.

                    Just so that you can distinguish between this little room and the big blue room out there...
