Who was arbitrarily banned?
I was referring to the seven deactivated in the "Great Purge" a few months ago, Atchafalaya
All were apparently banned without advisement of infractions of any codes of conduct.
A judge can't make arbitrary decisions--he must follow rules of law. Dictators are arbitrary rulers.
I don't like referencing CMac and RJ in that context as they make the forum available to us. But bannings without an apprising and definition of infractions is certainly arbitrary.

One option A) would be when posts get really bad, start a dialogue. Write out emails that detail how people have been inappropriate and remind people what the forum policy is and what the rules are. Give two week bans. Follow up. Repeat when the person tries to push the edge again. Generally spend time policing.
But the other option, B) that so far we think works best, is to keep a pretty open forum. Tolerate some stuff in the gray area, but when things go CLEARLY over the line, ban the account.
The problem with the policing model is it takes lots of time. We are a tiny company. We work on a shoe-string budget to make the site as good as we can. There are a lot of things we want to do to improve the site to make it better for you all. If we spent time policing the forum, it would take away from that.
Cmac had another post on February 10, that laid out his policy and goals. And there have been other discussions over the years when other moles were whacked.

I agree, it's like a reggae song. No more negative, up with the positive.

if rokjox has truly departed,
then rest assured,
i, norwegian take it upon myself
to throw my wee feet into the fallen
hero's shoes and assume the descent
where he left off.
cheers rok,

No popcorn?
Norg.... might I ask one thing, please? No warlock moves. My peepee is half black and I don't like it. if my fingers turn black and I can't climb I'll be rather upset.

Other than Nature running an active imagination in the wake of a perceived threat, what does the summoning of spirits add to the mix?
Well, his dick is turning black and shriveling up. That's sort of serious. Unless he'S just imagining that his dick is turning black and shriveling up -- but then that's sort of serious in its own way, too.
