Just ban the baddies if a warning goes unheeded, otherwise you could end up like t2w with rules and regulations several pages long and constantly challenged.
I've only glanced at a few threads here but it seems pretty clean so either the mods are good or the Barbarians haven't arrived at the gates yet

yoo-hoo! nice gates you got here.
the tendency, from the "other site", is that a baddie would simply start a new thread to continue the fight. or stalk them across other threads.
if someone is acting badly, they shouldnt be allowed to post anywhere on the site. ie, warning, then a short ban.
its the difference between locking someone up, or imposing an injunction.
better to have few rules enforced ruthlessly, rather than many rules with ambiguity.
yes, agree with FW, better behaved people here, so these issues should be pretty much unnecessary.
