There's a time limit, a few weeks, a month, etc. Once that time is up, the person is allowed to post back in the open forum, and then if they eff up again...they're banned forevah. The other members can interact with the person whilst they're in this other subforum, and so can the person, but that's the only place they can interact until they have 'served their time.' Just a thought, it seems to work well. Kind of like having cyber-gallows.
That was the point of Thumps sub forum in another group he was in. Two pages back, it's mentioned.
