>SI should have a clubhouse for vulgar posters restrict their right to post to it, but let them lurk elsewhere.

Gottfried,

How about this variation on your idea...SI could send anyone reported for vulgarity to the "Vulgar Poster Clubhouse [Jailhouse]". That would be the only place they could post for for a few weeks. In other words, they get sent to "the club", or "jail", or the "penalty box", so to speak.

While at the club, they could talk as dirty as they wish, but be required to end each post with "I will not talk dirty anywhere on SI when I get out of the Clubhouse". Once off restriction, repeat offenders could then be bounced from the site permenantly.

What do you think? The club might even wind up being the number one thread on SI's "Hot Subject" list. ;-)
