Might actually help simmer down some folk.
All that would accomplish is killing any and all activity on this forum. It simply wouldn't be worth risking your account on the whims of very random and inconsistent moderation. Just off my own anecdotal experience from various friends and people I've played with, some of been permabanned for a single swear word offense... yet if I type that same four letter word in the search box right now, I'll find... oh, let's see: five pages of it showing up. A friend of mine was flagged for mentioning that website we all know and love some time back despite the fact we've seen threads dedicated to talking about parsers and just about every other third party program under the sun. In fact, someone made a thread naming literally all of the major plugins that lasted for weeks.

Moderation here often comes down to mass reporting, which will encourage witch hunting.
