My concept is different because my concern is different, but the net result would be the same. Ten people can now click-up and, ultimately, boot someone off the board.
(and, yeah, the 24/48 was a mix-up)
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I still am not seeing where you are getting this.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Any ten posters can (upon stating publically within 24 hours of each other) for any reason officially censure (and ultimately ban) another poster.
But it's not "for any reason." The first person has to provide reasons why, and it has to have been discussed in-thread first. I also think that people here have enough sense that something that's obviously for no reason will be ignored.

If I and ten friends officially had a problem with, say, the word "cunt" and the offenders refused to stop saying it they could be warned, suspended and then banned.

But you don't. And "cunt" is not in any way a violation of the community standards, so it wouldn't really be a valid complaint anyway.

Unless what we've done is change the way "community standards" are determined.
I ask George to stop using the word "cunt".
He doesn't.
My friends do too
He still doesn't
I lodge a complaint. I link to the refusals as evidence. The other ten people second me. The letter goes out.
It doesn't matter that the vast majority of people have no problem with the word "cunt" because there is no place in that scenario for them to stop the action.

No, what we've done is provided a process for dealing with what happens when they've been broken. When to warn, not what to warn about.

If ten people agree that they've been broken they now have.

Trudy, WTF?
Your logic is totally escaping me here.
If someone complains in thread that BuffistaX is using cunt, not caring about context, the complainer is a hell of a lot more likely to get slapped with "we swear. deal."
FWIW, this has happened in Spoilers, and semi-recently.
If, however, BuffistaX is calling, say, Character or Actress Y a cunt, or using it to describe BuffistaZ, I can see action happening.

No, if ten people agree that the brokenness is enough to neccesitate a warning, it now does. If they weren't broken in the first place, then it doesn't matter.
