Re: One rule for one and another one for someone else?
Often times when a decision is made to ban a member there is a lot of information that is being passed along behind the scenes in PMs between the member and moderators. The decision to remove a member requires a vote of at least 3 moderators and the Administrator. The issues are discussed with all of the moderators included so that no one personality makes this decision on their own.
With respect to a member being banned this can happen after they have been PMed by the moderator watching over that situation. If the member is positive in their response and is working toward a resolution of the infraction then there is a positive outcome for that particular situation.
A member who continues to create problems is given three warnings to give them an opportunity to come into alignment with the goals and objectives established for these forums. If that particular member continues to be negative, makes any threats against the forum, Bil and Kerry, the moderators or another member and continues to be argumentative, after being warned 3 times that member is banned.
Of course anyone posting pron is automatically banned.
Tuza, I appreciate your bringing this up and sharing your views as this gives us an opportunity to clarify what goes on behind the scenes. I hope this explanation helps.
