I suggest a new type of punishment for misdemeanors.

Urist Lawbreaker has recently been shaved bald.

It's been suggested before, and will probably go in when beards are officially in.

[Toady One]

Bloat75, MINOR PUNISHMENT, (Future): Minor punishments like fines and beard shaving and permanent marks. Beard shaving implies beards, which implies wrestling with hair.

One of the old dev critters.  It'll happen at some point.  I imagine there will be plenty of thoughts and shame accompanying it.

Shaving ones beard in a dwarven community is often worse then getting a beating. Dwarves never shave their beards and to have it shaved is a mark of disgrace and shame.

I agree, I'd think that a scale of dwarven punishments should go thusly, from least to most severe.
- jail time, in varying amounts based on the crime.
- beard cutting. Not completely shaven, just cut short.
- beating. The hammerer, or maybe the captain of the guard, roughs the criminal up a bit, unarmed. No long-term injuries.
- beard shaving. Beard cut completely off.
- and then, the final punishment, either a Hammering (execution), or expulsion from the fortress. The latter strikes me as more shameful for the expelled, and also offers a chance to meet him/her in adventure mode later.

No, this may help remind Toady and/or help it to be implemented faster. No need to apologize for helping
