Not to speak for him but Airman might be thinking better enforcement of current warnings and rules, not more stringent ones. A more prominent “last warning” list said to be now implemented in the mod forum will probably go a long way to addressing Airman’s concerns ISTM.
As far as a rule change, maybe anyone on last chance should automatically have his thread starting abilities cut off and be on a strict “no hijacking” probation for some set period.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Were you a hall monitor in school? 
I prefer “All rules, including this one, shall be illegal.”
How about we just stick to the “don’t be a jerk” rule, and if someone gets “terminated”, their offenses (or some of their worst ones) are linked to. Banning the annoying is pretty broad. Every one of us is annoying to someone. All of us. If annoying was all it took, SDMB would be pretty empty. If smeone is a sock, then I’m fine with both the sock and the “real person” being obliterated.
That last reply annoyed me. 
You are dang annoying. 
When a centaur senses censors
It, incensed, dissents from censures,
Since the incense of a censer
Is incendiary scenture.
When tension tends on to dissension
Pretension distends the contention
Until comprehension
Portends apprehension,
Detention, and swift sock suspension.
What?
Question: Is a thread about the “immaturity” of socks being 7/8ths joke posts real irony or Morissette irony?
I hate it when that happens!
If I were a poster in this thread, I’d be looking over my shoulder for a quadruped with spots, and a pretty good view of the terrain for, oh, say…6 miles around. :eek:

Absolutely. When there are pitas involved, you can’t have too much oversight.
Ah, begging your pardon, Mr. Moderator, Sir, but you are a poster in this thread.
Nah, as long as a couple of them keep talking about the rules or moderating or whatever, the rest pretty much have carte blanche to act silly. It’s a loophole, like having diplomatic immunity or taking the license plate off your car and driving on the sidewalk. I am powerless to stop them.
Unless they piss me off, of course, and then watch out. I’ll waggle my finger at the screen so menacingly you won’t believe it.
Finger?
It’s the only thing I know how to waggle menacingly.
Are there rules about wagging your tongue at the screen?
Would a giraffe waggling its tongue at a Doper be construed as making death threats?
It’s 18 inches long and prehensile. I doubt a death threat is what would leap to mind.
Depends on what’s in your cheek. And how long your tongue is.
We’re so cute it’s hard to stay mad at us, eh?
Hey, it could poke your eye out! Or wrap around your neck and strangle you! Shouldn’t there be giraffe tongue control laws?
I can hear the naysayers now: When 18-inch prehensile tongues are outlawed, only outlaws will have 18-inch prehensile tongues.
