I think where I was really going with this thread on stabbing is that there isn't a mechanism to say basically "the other people in this discussion don't consider this post, or even this poster, as being worth responding to, due to their obnoxiousness/bad faith/persistent stupidity/repetitiveness.... caveat lector".

I wholeheartedly agree with gmaxwell.

This place is a mess!

Case / Current situation:
Most users use the negative trust for this purpose.

But trust should be meaning "Can I trade with them? Are they trust-worthy?"

Being rude, or in general not being polite, shouldn't have anything to do with the trust meter.

Thought:
Thus, I reckon we should have one more counter (similar to merit & trust), that would basically count "obnoxiousness level".
Giving someone an "obnoxiousness" would be like claiming this user is bad, this user is constantly rude, this user swears etc.

I like the idea, but it cannot be all about merit. It should involve activity, merit, and trust ho have a more "holistic" adherence to the spirit of the forum.

I would use the "most recognised" feature in bpip.org:
