Hobbling Users - what could possibly go wrong...

I wanted to put a poll up, but the one poll limit is also a bad idea because someone can just keep piling on *promotes.

I'm sorry the admins don't realize what a bad idea *hobbling is. What could possibly go wrong with the ultimate abusable power. While I think hobbling is a very good idea and auto-hobble on Siftquistion is a good idea, it should not be something for users to decide.

Why not just *hobble people automatically on some secret criteria of abuses, like 10 dead in a row, or killing someone's queue, or downvoting one members videos. If Lucky tells me it is too CPU intensive on a cron job to examine the last 100 comments and flag on certain criteria.. then fine. But it should be done automagically and then if it was an accident the person can contact to have it listed. Worst case is a few false positives that limit someone for awhile.

I really am sad if you look at recent behaviors and abuses and then allow for all of gang wars.
