<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2365456, member: 112&quot;]Their rules are pretty much just like ours, so is their &quot;strike&quot; policy. They call it strikes and we call it infractions but it works the same basic way. If anything ours is a bit more lenient. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for telling members why another is banned, I see 1 example of that over the 12 years covered by the posts found at that link you provided. And the reason given was &quot;badgering other members&quot;. OK, granted, they tell you and we don&#039;t. But if somebody is badgering members isn&#039;t that going to be pretty obvious to anybody that is reading the forum ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I see it like this, the offender is told why but it&#039;s nobody else&#039;s business why a member is given a forced vacation or is permanently banned. Two reasons for that, it&#039;s between the offender and the CT staff, nobody else. And two, saying that so and so is having his hand slapped because of this or because of that - all that does invite armchair quarterbacks and Monday morning referees to inject their two cents worth when they have no say in the matter. And doing that just sows discontent and polarization, both of which are harmful to the health of the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, perhaps it&#039;s a different philosophy, but it happens to be the one we like best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
