Just an idea, opinions?

[Okuma]

Just wanted to test the waters on an idea I've had for a while.

Would you have a problem with moderators having the ability to "vote out" members of the site? I figure if someone is causing problems but isn't breaking any rules a moderator could bring it up for a vote and if a majority of the mods vote for banning, then a temporary ban is given to that member. If it happens a second time, a longer ban, and a third time, a permanent ban. And if there's a tie, I'll be the tie breaker vote.

I'd also be willing to allow everyone else to vote a moderator out of their position, someone could bring it up for a vote, then whatever the site decides is what happens.

What do you think?

why do you need a vote?
if theres a problem you can handle it

As long as it works both ways , maybe this will keep the peace.
Heck OS, you could vote us all out...LOL

Given that you'd begin with temporary bans, it seems perfectly fair, but you probably ought to establish some rules of conduct to go by.

It's your site - do what is necessary to keep it civil and businesslike. The folks that will complain about this are probably the same folks that walk the line. I run my own site and all of my mods have ban powers, I trust their judgement...

Yep, sounds good to me.

As long as majority vote is needed, I see no problem with it

This seems questionable to me. That's like saying even if I don't break any traffic laws but I still drive like an ass my drivers license can still be suspended following a vote by the local police.

I'm just not on enough to see everything

I think that the power to ban, or not ban, should stay in your hands alone.
