I have to say I like the idea of disemvowelment, and I think the mods should use it here. When a poster steps over the line (the kind of infraction that gets a “knock it off” as opposed to an official warning) I think the offending message – maybe even all the poster’s messages in that thread – should be disemvowled as an example and warning.
First the thread should be dragged to the BBQ Pit on a hurdle. Then stickied. Then un-stickied. Then they should disemvowel it, and afterwards split it into four different threads and sticky them in ATMB, the Pit, and two other forums such as may please the Admins.
ETA: And remove the offending poster’s sig line, of course.

Damn, I’ve missed you, Mike.
Psst, Buckner – talk to Xash about your Custom User Title. For you, on the house.

I suppose “Escaped Moderator” could cause confusion–how about “Leaf on the Wind”?
Send me an email, please, and let’s discuss.
I think it’s about time the disemconsonanted wing gets some recognition.

Don’t forget about us.
Dang, I had guessed “Who’s forgotten about us” but “forgotten” had an extra o. I didn’t think of “Don’t”.

Oooh, no. *Bad *things involving long metal poles happen to people who say that.
“A consonant please, Carol”
Hey, hey! American board. You have to ask Vanna White to put up the consonant. Did you know she is preserved in formaldehyde when not taping Wheel of Fortune?

But we started it.
So I’m sticking with Carol.

Not so. This was back when American television producers could come up with their own concepts - the US version predated the UK one by six years.

I was amazed when I saw that Vanna is 53 years old!
That must be one helluva surgeon she has on retainer.
Her birthday was yesterday, 18 Feb.
Not so. for once, we both have to bow down to the French.
