I miss Fredtoast's badgering style and may be partly to blame for his banning.

There are several issues with this thread that require that we shut it down (naming another member in the title, questions regarding bannings, etc.).

For the record, our policy is that the staff does not discuss specific disciplinary actions except with the individual involved. Nor do we want to encourage speculation over the causes of disciplinary actions within threads.

That said, I will tell you this: 1) If a person is banned, it is solely because of their own actions; 2) They are almost always given an opportunity to correct those actions by not repeating them; 3) Long term discipline actions are discussed among all of the mods/admins before they occur and a consensus is reached.

I'll lock up this thread for the time being so that those interested have a chance to read this before we remove the thread.

Respect each other.
