I get the intent, applaud it even, but this isn't the way to do this. People will sit around and mock, either in this thread or others. And anything that is civil here will be civil elsewhere, or uncivil elsewhere won't be any better here. Creating this thread is a permission slip to bash for some, much as we'd like it otherwise.
Others may disagree, but I've been a mod for nearly a decade, and we see disputes and deal with them more than anyone. It doesn't mean I'm right, but I'm speaking from experience.
The only proper way to handle personal disputes is via PM.
So, regretfully, I'm requesting this be closed.

Well, this lasted ....much shorter than I expected.

I honestly think this thread can work
We have a non existant mod supreme so it seems that the hate is spread all over the boards.
If people don't keep the hate here, then they get warned and then banned. It makes sense

nah I don't have a problem with you. I was pointing-out you saying you're probably nicer on the Internet than in person, would make you a "keyboard ambassador."

Flipping out on the internet is too easy to do. It shows little restraint. Its much harder in real life when you actually have something invested

But they won't. The hatred is, almost always, irrational and somewhat blinding. Do you think they'll interrupt their baiting, insulting, or yelling about some vs. match to step into this thread and calmly hash things out? And why would they rather do that instead of PM? Here, it's in the public view for everyone else to scrutinize and mock.
Beyond that, all this thread will be is 98% people messing around, like we've seen so far. The other 2% will be legit hatred/insults that don't adhere to your rules. If they're going to ignore KMC's rules anyway, why adhere to yours?
Again, I don't mean to be harsh. I appreciate the sentiment here. I just think this is, at best, a waste of time, and at worst something that will make these things worse. It's a legitimately terrible idea with a legitimately good intent.
Also: This may actually surprise you, but, Enzeru's rant aside, attacks, insults, socks, bans, rants and outbursts, etc. are at an all-time low on KMC the last few years. Your perceived pervasive hatred is, comparatively, its most peaceful era ever. We used to deal with some similar outburst, either in public or private, every few months. And that was just the comic boards. Not to mention the dozens of socks who trolled constantly, of which there are now only maybe 1-2.
