What to do?

I think we need clear forum-rules and a fast moderator team.
Every post that is not on topic should be deleted immediately without a comment and the poster should be warned. After 5 warning the poster should be banned.
The same with insults.

What do you think?
Some of the forum avoidance is due to juvenile behavior here, sure, but some is due to MeeGo and uncertainty around Maemo.

As for your proposed handling methods... that's a little severe for simple "noise" threads and posts. Nuking should be reserved for outright spam and trolling IMO. I do agree there should be a very visible warning-to-banning escalation process though.
