Personally I'm all for a three or four strikes rule.
It's obvious to most reading some of these threads who's causing the problems... it's usually the same couple of folks going at each other. Look at the locked threads, and it's just a few names that pop up at the end of each.
If you're one of the parties in getting a thread locked due to being unable to control flaming over politics:
First time: a warning.
Second time: a 24 hr ban.
Third time: a one week ban.
Fourth time: a ban until Jan 2009, after the elections.
Ramp it up, make it stick.
