thanks mochi 
should we model the spamming warning system after the red bar system?
The only difference is a warning would be verbal (and not appear on the profile page). Does that seem fair?

Well, really, I think it would be best to just warn users who are defying the rules. It's pretty obvious. Verbal warnings get us nowhere.
By the way, when a user is banned, they are banned from logging in, which means both a BTC and a forum ban. It is possible to ban users from BTC for a day if a mod is in the same room, but that's not the case here, of course.

can it be modified so that people are just banned from the forums?

I suppose it is possible to prevent a user from posting on the forum (but not from reading, as any guest could read stuff). However, we don't have that kind of system, nor access to the posting-ban keys. It's a bit too complicated, I think, and Ioji doesn't need the extra work.
In any case, posting in those topics counts as spamming on the forum. Therefore, there shouldn't be any "special" system/treatment for one specific offense.

it doesn't have to be implemented now, maybe when he isn't busy or when the mods desperately need it.

You cut me deep, Homerface. Real deep.
Anyway, I like John's idea.
