<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3470886, member: 15309&quot;]I trust you.&nbsp; I have always said, that despite your dogmatic posting style, you are the most fair minded moderator I have ever seen on any online forum.&nbsp; My point was, that others, including core members like [USER=36230]@BooksB4Coins[/USER] do not share my faith in you, and that banning active core members like Bellman will always result in an outcry for an answer to why their forum friend/foe is gone.&nbsp; When you see the same guy receive 5 separate 1 week suspensions, it becomes very hard to complain when that same member gets banned.&nbsp; But when the forum has no idea about the member&#039;s prior transgressions, a permanent ban appears to be out of nowhere, and will often be perceived as unfair.&nbsp; The fact that you are claiming that transparency would exacerbate the situation is frankly, ridiculous.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding banning people who threaten to sue, it is akin to negotiating with terrorists.&nbsp; Any consolations made under the threat of legal action will incentivize members to threaten legal action in the future as a bargaining chip.</p><p><br /></p><p>And nobody is asking you to air people&#039;s dirty laundry, simply to inform the forum when someone is suspended or banned permanently.&nbsp; For example, maybe the current situation would be posted like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>V Kurt Bellman:&nbsp; Permanent Ban--Points Violation[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
