I too think Rawbone8's suggestions come closer to the heart of the problems and are close to a real common sense approach to it.

His suggestion suggest a form of due process and a certain degree of transparency whereby a person is allowed to plead his case and a decision is rendered based on the severity of the alleged violation and the number of occurrences.

Having bannings by "vote" of certain members (i.e. "gold" members as someone suggested) lends to abuse and bannings via popularity (or the lack thereof) rather than by worthiness of what the poster has to say.

Limited tenure of mods also a good suggestion. Publicizing ip addresses, not so good. (Haven’t there been enough breaches of privacy already?)

I disagree on the idea of setting posting requirements or time limits on new members. It assumes that every new member couldn't possibly have anything of value to contribute.

And why remove non-paying members' access to thumbnails? There are many here who have contributed pictures in spite of the fact that all they can see is thumbnails. If they couldn't see thumbnails there might be fewer inclined to want to post their own.
