Hello,
I am a fairly new member here on the forum, and far from an kind of expert in running a forum, so I hope you not will ban me for asking about this.
I see several people have been banned, from what seems to be small infractions.
I was wondering why is there not a system, where you get 3 strikes and your out, or something like that?
My husbond, to use a perfect example, is banned on this forum for calling a moderator an idiot one time.
The moderator and another member were joking and calling my husbond a drunk, despite him never drinking, he got anry and called the moderator an idiot for making such comment, when they were just discussing something here on the site, and if you disagree you should not call anyone names..
But that comment was enough to ban him, despite him @Khawk1 being a valid and positive member on the forum.
I am fairly sure, this has happened many more times than I can count, and in the end, i am thinking this will become a real issue, as everyone is making mistakes once in a while. Everyone gets angry, or says the wrong thing, or..
It seems that you should not be banned for this, as a warning would have been more than enough.
If you keep banning people for the smallest thing, you will only have idiots and leeches left after a while, as all the intelligent people have moved on, after being kicked out by you.
I am fairly sure I will be banned for simply writing this text, but in that case, i will have to accept it.
This is a great forum, and I hope my text will be recieved positively.
