i think this is a bad idea b/c it would:

1. have a chilling effect on reporting (goons would fear retribution)
2. incentivize poo poo posting (goons would try to get reported for forums street cred)

Why is 1 bad? People who run to the mods for pretty much any reason outside of stuff like hotlinked nsfw should be shamed like the shameful people they are.

it's long dead

but it was called the open jam. it was a spin off of people who got banned from harmony-central's open jam forums. open jam was kind of like the GBS of a musician's forum.

it was a good forum. one dude documented his descent into homelessness after his divorce. one guy who was pretending to be a marine got doxxed by another marine which caused a sensational amount of butthurt

now it's just like 3 people posting the about the good ol' days

Sounds like a good way to bring in a new trend of ironic reporting of posts. I'm sure that the mods would appreciate it.
