Why not just tag a 'please be civil' onto them?
That way people hunting through the archives don't come away with the mistaken impression that it is considered acceptable to say those kinds of things on Babble.
That way current posters don't need to live in fear that they will be blocked for some post they posted 4 years ago.
I think there could be a problem in the sense that the floodgates may be open for people to protest past posts as well as current ones. But with limits on how often you are allowed to protest...
I just think it would be a nice way to make peace.
I think it could help the community.
I don't think anybody likes seeing people 'getting away' with x while other posters get sanctioned. Ignoring the problem... Doesn't make it go away...
You could say 'sorry I missed this before but (whatever bits aren't civil) aren't civil. And put a link into the faq. It wouldn't be that hard - would it?
