Most of us have, at some point or another, whacked off (behave!) an email or a PM to someone we think is ideally suited to our needs only to receive, well, not a dickie bird, jack shit, tidily squat in reply. Well there are sanctions that can be applied with the most obvious being posting the fact to a forum. Alternatively there are other sanctions such as a very short term ban, a medium term ban and ultimately a complete ban, there are reputation points that could be deducted and the hierarchy of reputations could be expanded to accommodate this. There's only a limited amount we can do as it's not bespoke software but something could be installed.

Obvious problems are policing inevitable abuse of any such system, the fact that it will take more time - mine at least. But the fact that such a system exists might encourage those errant fellows and felines (or lazy bastards) to actually reply even if it's just to say 'thanks but no thanks'.



I've had several emails and PM's requesting such a thing so let's open it up for debate. Thoughts?
