Another idea which could work, something like merging the SMAS list into the trust system:
- On every profile, besides Trust, there's an option to mark user as spammer
- This instantly makes that user's signature invisible for the user who marked him, or add him into the ignore list, to be decided
- If the user who marked him is on DT1 or DT2; staff; or any other list to be decided, then the marked user losses the right to wear a signature. This way, it's not up to signature managers to allow them into a campaign or not. The forum would disable the signature for him
I'm a big fan of this, especially regarding the third part of the suggestion. I think that part is near crucial though. Without this, we will just reach a similar issue that we are having currently where people are getting all riled up and not much is actually changing.
Absolutely, I'm not giving 3 suggestions but 1. I consider the 3rd part extremely important too.
How can we prevent system misuse?(keep hiding some signature).
By:
- Managing the list. People can be removed from the list if they wrongfully tag people as spammers
- By requiring more than one person to tag a person to remove signature privileges. I'd say 2 tags are enough
- By allowing others to untag users, then the sum (tags - untags) would have to be 2 or more
