We do try to do this...we really do. Typically our first attempt is to post a reminder and then we do try to do thread "bans" where certain members of that discussion are not allowed to post. What generally ends up happening in some of the most heated threads is that more people are involved than not. So if we do a thread ban on say the 5-6 people causing the problems, it pretty much means the whole thread is dead anyway so it is easier to just close the topic.

However...point duly noted and we'll work on this.
