Should the TMP threads which have resulted in the most DH suspensions be marked with a train wreck icon? Maybe the posts themselves should be marked also, for our edification. This way we can know what you have to do around here to get the hook. Or the axe. In the past, I thought we should put the number of times someone has been DHed or Locked in their profile. I don't think so any more, Clean slate!
However, if the DH is to serve as a deterrent, and not just punishment, let's show what causes Good Little Boys to be punished, and sent to bed without milk and cookies.
Just mark the offending posts, and not make it part of the offendors' Permanent Records.  Example:

TMP link Really the same topic, so I combined them. |

Actually a train wreck icon would be an ironic and sound idea. There's usually little to be gained by adding to the thread once the locos have crashed … |

I do like the idea of a train wreck icon. |

Other thought would be a stick of dynamite with hissing fuse! Nice idea though. |

Brilliant idea. I like it! |

Would not help. Some get DH'd for something while others do not. |

I'm new here… what is a DH? |

Would not help. Some get DH'd for something while others do not. All part of the charm. Who doesn't love random and capricious? |

DH = Dawghouse.

It's where Bad Boys go. They can't post for a set amount of time. That's all. |

Don't scale down the image: it's perfect as-is. Further, I'd like such threads highlighted in red on the main page so I won't miss any theatrics. Or I could just read the Napoleonics boards more often. :) |

That's actually not a bad idea. A Black Hole icon would also work, or just the warning "here there be dragons!" |

I just scan the DH for links and follow them for the fun, pssshhhht, who needs a trainwreck link? (''''''''''''''') |

Hilarious, John. I vote 'Yes'! |

I reckon the image of a derailed train is already spoken for. It's widely understood to indicate "thread derailment". |
