If you are going to do anything, I would suggest making it mandatory for the Rangers to confine someone who interferes a second time. That's really the only way to take favoritism out of the mix. A complaint can be brought against the Ranger if they fail to enforce something they are required to enforce.
This to me would be alright, because you aren't treating our members like children by assuming that when being alerted that their conduct has disrupted others, they need a warning of punishment to help persuade them not to do the same thing again.
Any poster may request that a Ranger split off-topic and disruptive posts in a thread off to the Bike Racks, and upon determination that the posts are disruptive and off-topic, the Ranger shall do so.
AAAAUUUGGGHHHH!
Please, do not include 'off-topic' here. Yes, off-topic derailments that don't involve a personal dispute can certainly be requested to be split, but not to Bike Racks. Surely these should go in the originating or some other appropriate forum.
I would suggest '... that a Ranger split
personal disputes that are disrupting a thread off to the Bike Racks, and upon determination that the posts are disruptive, the Ranger shall do so.
If a Ranger receives another such request for the same thread after the first split, the Ranger will remind all poster(s) involved in the thread of their responsibilities under Article II and split off the new disuptive threads.
I would suggest 'original' rather than 'same' because I think it is a bit clearer which thread is meant.
If disruptions continue a Ranger will split further posts into the Bike Racks, and will also suspend posting permissions outside the Bike Racks of those involved for 24 hours.
I would suggest a rearrangement:
If disruptions continue a Ranger will split further posts into the Bike Racks thread and will also suspend posting permissions of those involved for 24 hours outside the Bike Racks.
I emphasized that the process starts with a poster. Posters who happen to be Rangers should probably ask another Ranger to do the split.
Why can't it also start with a Ranger. There is already that clause about Rangers being able to do that at their discretion.
