After it seems that Brisingr did this (with his own account - I still wonder how he did this, since there is no report button visible to you on your own profile) you should join him.

I think it should be activated for Platinum members with at least five years participation and at least one MVP award. Just sayin'. 
With great power comes great abuse of power.

I'm going to file that in the "no" basket.

Alas.

If someone replied to me I get notified right? What if he/she modified his/her post shouldn't I get notified too?

Instead of deactivating account if it was reported only 5 time which is a very lame to do what to do is take reputation in to consideration and deduct from his reputation and when reputation reach zero deactivate him/her.

Valid right up until some high rep goes rogue and can then abuse the crap out of someone with impunity.
It would stop the fiasco where MM got banned a number of times in a day for basically a brain fart!

So start with 20 points and let every report double the punishment, it won't take that many reports to even obliterate the reputation of Griff. But it would still make a difference

The 5 limit doesn't mean that the accounts are gone for ever. You can approach the admin team to have the account reinstated. Better still, though, is not to go out of your way to antagonise others. And yes, this includes telling people to STFU. Play nice with others and they will play nice with you.

A very optimistic view of "human nature," Pete, but a view I think it is necessary to hold on to, even in the face of constant confounding by others' (and our own) actual behavior.
A very thin kite-string reeled out to the end of the spool, buffeted by violent winds, fragile. Yet, to hold on to it, to believe it is strong: what other attitude will tether a semblance of sanity, a veneer of rationality, to the primate mind's chaotic jumbling of underworld and overworld, and earth ?
As Tennyson said:
"Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed"
Nevertheless, who can decry the great psychic value of having enemies who loathe your every word ?

Well noted. On other hand what do you think of my other suggestion up here?
Hello World!
|
|

The getting notified of changes suggestion? I'm not keen, but I'm not a huge fan of notifications in the first place.

A much better suggestion would be for you to stop acting like a Troll/Spammer/Abuser and follow the protocols of this site.

The link is going to the wrong file. Looks like a bug.
