It's a nice idea but there will always be the few that will spoil it and essentially use it as their own little trolling tool.

set title to something they know the target will have blocked. Then troll away.

I can see it been more effort to moderate than with the existing system.

The way I look at it this feature could cause more of a faeces storm than simply pointing the finger. It might start all civil and stuff but how many times have we seen petty arguments and personal grudges turn really nasty. I still stand by my comment that this will cause more moderation headaches in the long run when people start using it for their own personal little wars.

I only engage in threads that I want to be involved in. After all a forum by definition is a place for free and open discussion. If people don't want to get involved in a thread or subject then they should simply not bother posting. I am a big boy and know what I am getting myself into with a debate.
