"::::::::Yeah, I don't disagree with you, Red Pen. It would be a very difficult system to make function without crashing and burning, and I suggested it only as a sort of ""well, if we must have merits and demerits..."" idea. That said, though, I wonder if there is a way to make ""community civility service"" useful - if there's any program we can implement where people who have a weakness when it comes to being uncivil could slowly learn how to control that. I suspect the answer to that is ""probably not"", though.
