Should SN bring back the user infraction system
Well? It was a lot more fun when we had it 
Policy was that busy I'm surprised that nobody wanted to sponser it
I don't think I infracted anyone back in the day, I'm sure a Mod could tell me
But by Jesus, some of you ***** I would love to infract these days!

I would love to hear the reasons if anyone votes yes!
This forum is used by some as a debate points scoring system to make themselves feel better about not having any real friends.
Everyone else uses is for what it is - A pokey motoring forum.

I think the closest thing we got to one of them was a system where you could give everyone's post a thumb up or a thumb down. The more thumbs up the post got, the greener and more positive it got, the more thumbs down you got, the reder and more negati e the post got. I think that how it worked anyway!

These kind of user ratings systems always degenerate into a bun fight!

Which is why the threads about a particular infraction were so funny.
For that reason alone I think they should return. Don't think I ever got one and think I only gave a couple of times. I also think that by the infraction sign should be the username of who gave it and preferably a little statement as to why
But rather than full ban just a sin bin for a couple of hours to cool off. Or a couple of hours to seeth over the injustice of it all and come back on infuriated and potentially highly amusing for the popcorn munchers.
SNet is quiet because its just not cool to own a scoob anymore. Most of us don't own a scoob and it's just about the banter. Its bound to reduce traffic.

It was a very stupid idea to give power to the plebs, as my occasional "infractathons" proved!
Funniest moment for me was the glitch that allowed everyone to see their infractors! Hello moses!!

Why would anyone in their right mind want to bring that crappy system into play again? Even if the numpty that was the old webmaster has gone.
The infraction system pretty much killed the muppets forum and dealt a fair old blow to the rest of scoobynet, to which it never fully recovered from it's heyday.
Only tosspot I can remember infracting was Mr impreza. Thank **** he has p1ssed off. Ex webby was my main infracter apart from the few self righteous infractors here who thought they were anonymous until the system fcuked up
