Worst case scenario is actually a single thread breaking into flaming on several times as different people can start flaming in it one after another. Thus possibility growing exponentially. With flaming in such threads being sanction-able it also increases loadout on that part as well. Now that's a nightmare really. A mandatory one as you say. I'm starting to see less reasonable seed in there. While driven by good intentions, but also now seeing unhealthy ambitions (Judge Dredd syndrome) and I'm getting more skeptical about this.
It's important to distinguish between a flamer and an arsonist. A flamer is someone who comes into a thread says something and then sparks a small argument. He would be told to pack it in but nothing more. An arsonist is someone who posts something deliberately inflaming, knowing full well it will lead to a flame war. He should eb punished. Yes if it's too much work then it's a problem and another method of getting the same treatment may be required. I still believe that some factions need an overhaul, this is just the fairest and most equitable way of doing it.
