Why not just have an anonymous nomination, quorum and voting system for booting people? I don't think it would be terribly difficult to come up with a system that we all could agree on.

My only fear with the DiP is that we end-up using it too much.

I would suggest that an online community doesn't need to have immediate action taken against offenders like we might need to have in the "real world".

There are no life-threatening events here so The Council can afford to take the time to witness if a particular individual develops unwanted patterns of behavior before taking any disciplinary action (bans, suspensions, or even warnings).

For example, if I misbehave one evening on #virus and I offend someone, let that person take note of it. If I misbehave again on the next day, and the next week, then a formal complain can be sent to the Council. The Council can review these multiple offences and decide if the individual is acting in a way that is detrimental to the community or against specific community rules (no personnal attacks).

I agree. I have seen people who really fit in nicely after a "spectacular" first appearance. Well.. we are a church, of course, but not *that* kind of church. Being drunk online once in a while is relatively safe.
