It will just make the whole admin thing more complicated as people start complaining that their "call out" threads weren't followed up on quickly enough... and the fags will still complain about the surfers who know how to get cheap domains from godaddy to 'prove' themselves with.

It's a disaster waiting to happen. I understand you don't have many options, and I sure can't think of a better one besides leaving the supposed surfers and just ban those who keep complaining about GFY like they run shit but refuse to leave on their own.
I am glad you brought this up. So let me clarify one thing.

Just because someone doesn't share the same opinion that you have on things such as Tubes, Piracy, Free Content, etc. This does not make them a Surfer, Pirate, etc.

If you plan to report someone as a surfer, you better have your shit in order as to why you are claiming them to be so.
