Thread-closing versus restraining orders
I get that it might be easier for the mods to close threads than to bar specific users from participating in them, but I wonder if the latter option has at all been considered. I think it's better for a forum with lower activity (maybe any forum, for that matter) to allow threads to remain open (and topics to be debated) if they have actually produced productive content.

Or a moratorium on communication between specific members.

Was temporary for clean-up purposes.
I have been searching for possible alternatives opposed to 'outright ban' from the forum, and I think a solution was found in a 'Ban from Thread' function, I will be experimenting with this.
Any users who cannot "Keep their cool" in certain threads, will find their access to these threads revoked. This can be expanded to the sub-forum as a whole, if it continues in multiple topics.

Is it a cycle of users or the same users over and over that would require this feature?
