I like this idea, but I think a self-regulated restriction would be better
than a system-imposed limit, for several reasons:

1. Todd doesn't have to develop the solution.
2. It's a simple, measurable way for Jonathan to show (in)compliance.
3. Corrollary to item (2), it's easy to tell if the terms have been
   violated.

I like this idea as well.  But I think we should wait on the results of the
vote first - because he has gone over the edge with his antics (as far as
I'm concerned) and I'd like to see a break where I don't have to worry
about his posts at all.  But if the vote doesn't work, or if it goes in
favor of a committee, then this would be a good plan to implement.  Like
you said, its clear-cut so we KNOW if he's violating terms.

And another part of the terms should be for him to use a signature.  That's
another one of the things I've pushed for a long time that he's FLAT OUT
IGNORED and therefore REFUSED to change (rather arrogantly).

It seems decorative, and the value is mostly to the appender being able to make: (...) political statements or statements about their belief systems (...) more information (...)

I just reviewed this subthread's responses and I didn't see a single person, so far, who felt that use of a sig was mandatory, so I'm not sure I'd either - be all that upset about it the larger scheme of things... or - make it be one of the terms of (...)
