But who knows. Maybe that doesn't happen.
No, that’s pretty much the entire deal.
At my previous forum, we used to have heated debates about who to ban and why. The rules there were a bit more strict than here (not by much... more focused on keeping things on-topic and PG-13, but otherwise about the same). I tended to be pro-ban in most cases because I firmly believe that a good signal-to-noise ratio is far more beneficial than pure traffic. I left after 3-4 years on that staff because the rest of the staff were more passive than I liked, and they let bad members drive others away.
