>Excellent idea. I suggest you set up a new board for blocked people past and present to discuss their experience freely. Let Alexandra come back. Bob you need the brain power.
Compare people who are blocked frequently vs people who aren't.
Look at the effect on posting behaviour of posters who return after long blocks.
Look at the numbers of blocks which occur after a long block is given-the contagion factor.
I think most of these ideas were Alex's before you did what you did to her.
Are you going to have to have permission slips signed again do you think?
Look at the attitude of people who are never blocked re the blocking system. Does it influence their behaviour here? Or are they just naturally in tune with your standard of civility?
Figure out just how well people actually understand your rules! Find out if anyone knows how many warnings you get before you're blocked!
Do blocks breed more blocks? Once a person is blocked does the time until the next block diminish or increase?Find out how closely the values and interpretations of civility by the deputies resemble each others, yours, and the general publics.
Oh Bob build the mazes I am here!
