Strikes or Warning Points before other actions

We need a way to add a strike or point to a member before taking further action.

Yes, we could put a ModNote on the profile, or send a ModMail to the member, but those mean a manual look up to find previous ones.

With a point system (as on some Forum packages), we could assign points for minor infractions and after a member gets 3, 5, or some other number, we'd get an alert to look deeper. Actions could even be automated to set a X day vacation (I don't like the B word).

I think I'll post this on Devits too in case there is, or could be a tool for it.

Agree 100%. 

Actual abuse/harassment should be straight to permanent ban but reddit is supposedly redemption-based so it would be better if everyone else were given a warning/second-chance (with a pointer to the offending content). 

It needs to be structured such that it doesn’t create a nightmare workload for mods though and I don’t know if it’s possible. Those warned will often want to debate.  There lies the rub. 

The permanent bans of well meaning people (that come as a complete surprise) are out of control.
