I think there should be 12 members with this power, can't think of a good group name for the dozen of them at the moment.
But crucially the twelve are randomly chosen from the entire membership each day and they must never know they have the power.
This will prevent anyone from abusing it.

I am with you, but I'd rather make them a special group, "Gold Protectors" or anything like that.
I also wouldn't recommend to require only one vote - I'd rather go for two or three.
Anyhow, the most powerfull weapon would be to really block the member from posting after his account is gone - The accounts are usually gone pretty quick, since it needs only 5 kicks to new members to be nuked, the posts after the account is deleted are the most troublesome. Another great approach would be to automatically delete all items posted by a member who's account is deleted.

I like the trolls. Don't hate me, but its true. We get some of the best/funniest responses that keep the site entertaining as well as informative. Its important that we block them, but some of their mess needs to filter through for raw entertainment!

Hmmm... Do you remember when Brisingr Aerowing[^] had his account closed the other day?
I suppose if you report yourself, a full purge is appropriate.

Ah, ok. Now I see where you are going. I think that would work and could save us all from a lot of cleanup.

Oh! and I thought they are different persons. 
I think that the current report as spam / abuse works just fine. There are only isolated instance of aggressive trolling. And the CP Spartans can always remove the account of a troll. If it gets created multiple times, we can remove it multiple times, it's just few more clicks. I don't think blocking a troll for few hours can make a difference. We need to outcast trolls with complete ignorance to make them stop.
Giving CP Members ability to block IP Address that easily will create more problems than solve a problem.

Someone posted that as a suggestion not too long ago. I guess it's not all that different from the filters you can set up for QA.

Nukes are for people that aren't very good at "aiming".
"Close" only counts in games of horse shoes or shuffleboard, hand grenades, and the occasional nuclear detonation.

I actually used to smoke around 20 per day, sometimes a little more, and I cost me a fortune, not to mention the health risks involved. However to stop smoking is not that easy, as I can’t really just quit in a day, as I would get so heavy abstinences that I would just start again, so I had to try something different.
To people that haven’t smoked, It’s quite difficult to explain how it feels, and then especially the first smoke in heavy abstinence feels or when it has been a substantial time (usually more than 5 – 6 hours) since the last cigarette. At first you would just feel as one would expect as smoke fills your lungs, but then after 2 or 3 puffs I get a prickly sense in the skin at the arms, and get mildly dizzy, as one can get with (the right amount) alcohol... However the next 19 cigarettes that day feels nothing like this sadly, as the nicotine isn’t that effective (delicious or delirious) in large quantities.
What I did was to let it pass 2 hours between each cigarette, and within two days gradually increase this time to 4 hours between each cigarette. The last cigarette I took, I stopped about half way, before the prickling in the hand started, and that was it. Now three days and some hours later, I haven’t touched a cigarette. Mind you, I did this successfully some years earlier as well, but that time I managed to stop for 6 months before being at a party, where some pricks gave me a cigarette and told me how good it was. I was rather drunk as well, but this time I’m definately going to quit for life.

This is why I only smoke one cigarette a day.
People (doctors and nurses mostly) as me what is the point of just one a day.
The point is, of course, that it is bloody lovely.
Good luck.

I don't get addicted to things, but I also have very little will power.
I can happily not buy cigarettes and not smoke for months at a time. If they are being offered around then I often will have one. Fortunately I am not often in such a situation, and having more than two or three soon becomes unpleasant.
It is the same with chocolate and biscuits and the such like, I don't buy it, don't miss it, if it is lying about I'll scoff the lot.

That seems contradictory.
