Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What if, before going to the moderator option, we tried to create a policy for handling problem posters?
We have a policy, yes? Once, warn. Twice, suspend. Three times, ban. What we have a problem with is the details of enforcement.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, and I thought the Stompies decided, really, whether to warn someone. I mean we can ask all we want, but it is the stompy that types it up.
So obviously we don't really know what we were doing.
I also thought the warning, banning stuff was excluded from the vote because of the poential for public flogging and the time issues.

Yes. This.

Yes. We have a policy that no one feels empowered to enforce, is what it seems to me is the problem.

This is my perception too. I think when we created the short etiquette including that policy, we were viewing Stompies more as moderators (I know that's how I was thinking when I drafted it.). It turns out that's not how things operate officially.

Okay. So, first step. We decide if we're a) happy with having the entire community participate in enforcement, b) want the Stompies to handle it by themselves, or c) create a new group of people to handle the enforcement.

We have a policy, yes?
See, I don't think that's a policy. It's kind of vague. When I say policy, I mean something firm and detailed with what constitutes a warning and how we notify that party, etc.
For example, once we have it in place, if we warn someone, I think they should get an email. The email would explain that this is an official warning and then the policy on warnings, suspensions and banning should be included so they are fully aware of what we're talking about.
What do you think B, C, and D are?
I think this is B. I dunno what C and D are yet.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I like plan B.
Seems the best.
