Locking Threads Notice.

[Login]

No, if a flame war is started the thread must be locked. If that user makes another thread he/she will receive a ban.

That's not the users fault - you could just as easily put the topic back on topic. I see no reason for flaming and allowing the users to get away with flaming by locking the thread. If they continue to flame, you warn them both, if they don't get the message, you ban them. I feel as if derailing a topic is something that can be back onto topic if said right.
