Just to inform you that the Universe will end before you get that kind of previledges or any type of power here, no matter how many times you hit any arbitrary posting mark.DEATH wrote: It does seem Fair, maybe even for every 500k posts (Or 1e6 at a minimum) although maybe the members should have to keep it for only 4 months? Not all of us are multi-yearers after all .
Still it seems fair to grant a prize for every half or quarter million posts, it's not exactly that common after all.

I love the smell of September in the morning. Once we got off at Richmond, walked up to the 'G, and there was no game on. Not one footballer in sight. But that cut grass smell, spring rain...it smelt like victory.

How exciting! It'd be like playing Russian Roulette when you post near the 2,000,000 mark. Still, I think it should be random so as better to demonstrate arbitrary authority. That'd be even more exciting: Who knows who it'd be?
Although I feel compelled to make a joke involving an easily-targeted member and a random citing of an old western movie, as is becoming oddly standard for me:
I think we all know who's going to be banned if it's the 2,000,000th poster exactly. It'll go down like this: We'll be at 1,999,999. Imagine the scene from Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with SDNners all standing around, posts in hand, in some gigantic Mexican Standoff. Then someone who is slightly clueless and makes a lot of posts will be blown away when they stumble in and make the 2,000,000th post by accident during the standoff.

A quick number crunch shows we have approximately 21.1940459 days until we hit the big number. So let's start partying now, and not stop until 21.1940459 afterwards!
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Quite frankly I don't want to be permabanned because anything really, but least of all because of basically nothing (bad luck on some damm poll).
Banning some ramdom person that's been inactive for long and/or who behavior has borderline trollish in anthoer matter (as the chance that they will even noticed that they've been banned is slim and since they're inactive nothing is lost)
banning just some ramdom member will scare off any new members regard of their potential (sure it will scare of any trolls, but also people who might contribute something other then spam to the board).
The main reason I've liked this board is that there's rules that can be followed, without having to brownnose the admins.
yes I'm trying cover my own ass, but quite frankly I consider the idea as Gil proposed it just brain dead and something that could destroy this board.

What I would like to see is that the admin pick one of the more memorable trolls, and unban him giving him a clean slate. Then we take bets on how long it will take from when the troll finds out to when the troll gets banned again. Just so we can have fun with him for a bit.
