In all seriousness, I have to agree with you that publishing a "most moron-buttoned" list would be disruptive and counterproductive. It could have some deterrent effects on the most obnoxious posters, but I think it would probably also deter the kind of sincere and valuable post that make SI so valuable.

I agree that a moron button would be nice to have. For people without fast internet connections, the need is very real. Time is money, after all. Who likes waiting to download a post, only to find it contains useless garbage?
