I get how the point system works and how everyone is redeemable. But there really should be something done about repeating offenders.
For example look at the Ukraine thread in politics. Thread started November last year. Two posters, and we all know who they are, have the same posting pattern since the start of said thread:
3 days of trolling
Get infracted for trolling (finally)
3 week ban
Ban lifted
And back to square one.
I know trolling is just a 5 point infraction, but seriously. After repeating the pattern above for 7 straight months, there should be some kind of consequence? The two posters I pointed out will keep repeating this pattern infinitely.
