Check it out. Turns out Model Mayhem isn't that different from this place. I tried out a photography discussion forum and immediately found a douche "photographer" to fight with. (Photographers are the biggest douches, btw... but you already know that.)
But instead of banning members there, they have a little jail where you can't use the forum or make announcements on the main page while you serve your sentence. That's where I am right now... for 3 whole days! It's a pretty cool feature. Maybe you should look into it, RIU. I know you guys don't really ban people unless it's something really serious, so this would be a great way to punish those users who just flame without doing anything illegal. I'm serving my three day sentence at Model Mayhem... and while I do, I'll be thinking long and hard about the crime I committed. See? It works. And it's a whole lot less severe than a banning.
Edit:
Shit, knowing me, I'm gonna go after that douche as soon as I make bail. Lol.
Edit:
Suddenly my photos, which were already getting mad views, are getting even more views. People just love controversy... and boobs.
