Is it possible for you to expand the rules of civility section of the FAQ? Although some rules are rather obvious, it seems that a lot of people have been having trouble lately with the not-so-obvious ones. Perhaps you could include some examples?
Counting to ten might not be enough for someone who is truly angry - may I suggest that you add a link to the Anger section of your "Virtual Pamphlet" collection (http://counseling.uchicago.edu/vpc/virtulets.html#Anger)?
Also, perhaps you could re-order the FAQ to make the civility "answer" more visible. (It seems to be the most frequently asked, yet it is located at the bottom of the page.) Maybe you could add a reminder next to the "Submit" button next to the privacy and copyright information links (the small-print "Please be civil" link on the main P[S]B{A,BC} page is often overlooked).
I agree that most users are fully aware when they are being uncivil; but that's not always true.
