We already kind of do this, but each moderator has their own personal policy, I guess. For me, I'll usually just let people off with a notice on their first infraction, especially if they're new. The second or third time around, I will assign points. I'll be a bit harsher with problem posters, because they tend to be the ones that need to be kicked in the butt. Members that almost always follow the rules will usually get a pass if they break the rules on a rare occasion. But I certainly don't and refuse to target a certain ideology that I disagree with and that includes the White Superists/Awesomists/Cheerleaderists.

Maybe there are smaller caps on those that are here longer, the longer you're around the mor you can post based on warning assesments on thread dumping/spam threads/duplicate threads/violations in the OP etc etc. But who the heck is gonna create and implement such a system?? Eventually the suggestion will arise that contributing members get to start more threads; not addressing the contextof the problem directly but how many of the WN's or whoever are contributing members? Even indirectly it may work.

Such a system wouldn't be too hard to implement, if I understand correctly. There are quite a lot of vBulletin hacks that allow you a lot of flexibility when it comes to thread capping.
