I like the scaled system idea (by the way, in English the word is Warning, but we understand your meaning well enough). The problem is in implication.

What defines a "stupid post"? What defines "Spam"? It's easy to generally set on a solution, but impossible to formally pin down the line between a good post and these warning areas.

Sounds like another matter of perspective. Mods don't suspend or ban unless it's required. I mean, the "when's the gba sp coming out" thread is easily answered by checking out the links on our news section or on ANY of it's topics where we generally discuss it, so does that make it a stupid post? There's also people who post things like
QUOTEI don't have a PS2 but my favourite game would be GTA:VC even though I haven't played the game before

I know he's not on GBATemp (NOTE TO OPIUM: I don't mean to bash the people on your forum, man, but this guy's getting annoying. You know who he is. I just don't want to cast the first stone against him yet.) but it's a good example of spam. On the other hand, there's a couple we've had here, that as soon as they hit the "members" or "advanced members" categories, they stop spamming and actually contribute to conversation. Do they count as banning material now?
