Have you considered a corporal punishment system? Every month the mods could sit down, decide who was the most annoying and intransigent poster, then invite that person out to an abandoned warehouse for "free Flames tickets you won in a random CP draw".

Then he shows up, goes into the warehouse and you guys are all standing around with baseball bats and demented grins. Then the door closes behind him...

I will point out, Jammies, that you are encouraging internet nerds to attempt to physically intimidate people. While Jiri the Mexican is no doubt quick and scrappy, the chances of the other moderators combined weight being in excess of two hundred and eighty pounds is pretty remote.

EDIT: Gonna make this a two parter...what exactly is CDC paste? I understand the reference and did some googling and searched up this thread but I have no idea what it actually is :/
I totally thought there was but I can't find the option for it in User CP. Maybe have a look around there and you can find it.

Why are Oiler/Canuck fans surprised when they come on here and see posters bashing their team no matter what?

Well, we have to consider anyone simple enough to cheer for either of those teams is obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so it would be unfair to hold them up to the same standard as us.

That drives me up the wall too, HOOTers. If you go into a teams building or internet fan forum you better expect to take a little abuse.

It means "that I have nothing to add to the conversation, but clearly my opinion is so important that everyone should know that I agree with the above statement (or quoted text), also I am very likely a post whore."

Instead of using +1 people should now use the Thanks feature.
