Re: NoiseGuide is Broken... Again
No no this kind of thing does NOT belong in misc. Misc should not be a hassle. Misc should be fun.

You should get on it.. discogs doesn't have an artist called "Nip it in the bud"
If I were to ever open a legal weed shop that's what I would call it

Re: NoiseGuide is Broken... Again
Hmmm, this thread contains a bit of bristling infighting.
Perhaps not so much to constitute a lock and drop, but still, embers that can turn to flames and burn the place..
Maybe you need a sandpit? That place for people to go when all they want to or can do is knock heads together?
If configuring the forums I would, personally, look to make that subdirectory hidden from the browsing pedestrian and maybe just leave a ghost thread in place of the tumultuous thread.
Here's the kicker: once you're inside the sandpit, you can surf that "hidden" subforum if you want to wallow in other peoples misery. I would ghost thread the subject only as long as it takes to get another subject legible for the sandpit, then delete the earlier referral tag and crown the most recent topic as the gate to the sandpit.
This way, from the casual browsers position the gateway to the sandpit moves, like the castle in Krull, and those who relish in bristling upon one another or just generally being abrasive and difficult people have their own gift as well, a sort of safe space, if you will.

Additionally, town drunks and repeat offenders could be confined to the sandpit for timeout periods (or say, in the case of a imaginary friend (but I'm sure we wouldn't tolerate one of those around here, right?) permanent incarceration).
Sort of a soft ban realm.

Re: NoiseGuide is Broken... Again
Yeah I think things could be managed with out bans.. one option is that if somebody is posting too much or whatever then all their posts have to be approved. Out of the box phpbb doesn't have too many options for limiting what one particular user does. When I was looking for options and people were asking if they could set a limit for the number of posts in one day or a users specific post flood many people commented that they didn't understand why you wouldn't users to post as much as possible.
