Another would be to make offending users have their posts approved before they get posted. At this time bans are the only real tool available though.
I think that the Flame War thread is a wonderful idea! I have seen it work on many other boards. You go into the thread and thoroughly berate the person you have a beef with and that is where it stays. For the people that hand out personal attacks outside the designated thread: 3 day ban. If they keep attacking outside of the Flame Thread: Perma-ban. I think that this is a wonderful idea. I would very much like to see it take effect.
