in thread Method for Containing ForestFires

As I said before, this would work through the consideration system we currently have. No one individual can reap or edit a node. This would be no different

We already have ways of blocking user's posts (there are some CSS hacks floating around the site somewhere). However that seems to assume that all the users involved in flame wars are -always- involved in flame wars. Individuals may in fact end up blocking people who usually post good answers, questions etc. If we just block them until the flaming calms down it still assumes that they are only engaging in the distraction during that time without any other posts. I just think those solutions may be heavy handed.

I like the idea of giving members the ability to block threads from a certain point down. I seem to remember something similar being mentioned before but can't recall how it would be implemented or if someone even came up with a hack for it. Again nice idea, thank you ++ :)
