Can I suggest that people who pay to be on DU could get an extra life (6)? Would this be difficult to program in? Seems little to ask for people who support the site financially.

I would imagine Star members are more readily forgiven than others.
In these times of managing electronic assaults from the outside world, there are probably more exigent demands on programming.

and get 2 or 3 removes in that thread. In the latter case, one can have 2 removes and feel safe, and then get 3 removes in one regrettable thread and suddenly one is FFR. Maybe the algorithm can count a max of one remove in a thread.
I've never had more than 2 removes at a time, but then I don't post all that much (actually my current 320 posts in 90 days is well above my average). Anyway, I always keep in mind that after a couple removes, one bad day, even one bad thread, can take me the rest of the way to an FFR.
