users shouldn't be able to lock (or delete) their topics in the first place. the number of cases in which it actually makes sense for the first poster to 'own' the topic is small and can be handled by moderation

don't ban people for executing coups on the forum administration. this is a very important issue to me personally both in the past and moving forward

besides that, what i've posted before for consideration:
instead of ban length being based on the warning level when a new warning is received, have a user be banned whenever their warning level is above a certain amount
this leaves more leeway in measuring severity through when the warning expires
eg, say the threshold is 12 points and someone is at 11. they do something minor which definitely deserves a warning but not an especially long ban. you can give them a 1 point warning which expires in a week, and the effect will be that they're banned for a week. whereas in the current system giving them any warning at all might equally result in a one month ban, no matter what the nature of the specific infraction is

not quite since that's the right sided limit (if x>0)
the left sided limit will be the opposite (-infinity if x>0)
so the limit doesn't exist even in the extended reals

(well, there are situations in which it makes sense to consider infinity and -infinity the same, but it's not the usual situation for this)

it's really not a world war if there aren't multiple great powers involved, so even supposing it to start from something in the middle east, great powers still have to be drawn into a war with each other

in order for it to be a world war, for the foreseeable future it would essentially be necessary for US and China to be on opposing sides (great powers US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan are very unlikely to go to war with each other for obvious reasons; Russia by itself is not going to go against NATO (that would be monumentally stupid); so, the remaining great power, China, must be the one on the opposing side to NATO-aligned powers)

this also coincides with pretty much any form of realism, especially wrt the "Thucydides Trap" wherein an existing power and rising power are drawn into a war for security

there's no guarantee that the existence of nuclear weapons would either prevent a war from happening (MAD is powerful but not any sort of guarantee) or cause ww3 to be a nuclear war (see the brief Kargil war between India and Pakistan, both already nuclear powers at the time), but it would limit the scope of the war in that the major nuclear powers would be unlikely to have their own sovereignty challenged in the war (so, even assuming a NATO victory, China and Russia would probably maintain most of their current territory (or at least how much they still controlled at the time of surrender), with potentially some exceptions)

the most likely instigator is still Taiwan and/or South China Sea stuff. since Taiwan is treated as a major non-NATO ally by the US, a major US response would be likely; the European NATO powers might take less of a part in the war since it wouldn't be in defense of a NATO member and would be geographically distant, though they would still be aligned with the US. allies of the US within the region (most important) would be Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, possibly Indonesia, and potentially others; allies of China would be North Korea, Pakistan if India ends up involved, potentially others

how Russia may be involved is actually probably the most unpredictable piece, but if Russia were to take part in ww3 then the European NATO powers would be the main opposition to it; Russia has a pretty crap economy (smaller than Italy), so its goal would probably be to take control over territory in Ukraine, the caucasus, + maybe some other places and then try to hold it with a nuclear threat rather than actually a continual challenge to NATO (similar to how China's goal would be to take and hold Taiwan + control over SCS); in the worst situation, Russia could potentially assert control over the Baltic states as well

alternative possibilities for causing ww3 include india-pakistan **** (think nuclear terrorism; out of the nuclear powers, by far the most one to have a nuclear warhead fall into the heads of a non-state actor is Pakistan; it would then likely be used in the region, probably Afghanistan, Pakistan, or India, which could certainly trigger a war)

it really doesn't need to be fixed i don't know why the admmods here are so obsessed with putting everything that's discussing same/similar subject into the same topic anyways it really isn't necessary
