Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

GS, you may be right about that, but if that was really the case, then he should have been gone a long time ago.

It takes time once a report has been made, for the case to be made for or against even voting and even then the current and past behavior is viewed and talked about.. sometimes members create more reports ontop of reports and those need sifted through then culminated from many report threads to one thread so voting can begin. Depending upon mod/admin availability and the nature of the ban controversy, this process can take awhile to even get voting started much less reach quorum. Before I left a new procedure called devils advocate was put in place where a mod would take up the defense of the member. Knowing how talky the mods are--scoobs could very well have been banned for something he did weeks ago.

As to your question I don't know and can't say about where lines are drawn or whatnot. It's obviously all a case by case basis.

KUSA I have to disagree with you. Many unliked members who "don't fit in" hang around here just fine. There are members here that I daresay loathe, but i dont question their right or ability to be here. This forum in particular welcomes people from all beliefs, walks of life, etc. You dont have to be liked to be a member. Hell I got myself temp banned once as a newbie, and didn't have a problem with bias when I returned. When it comes down to the general question, is it everyone else or just you that's a problem--more often than not the answer is clear.
