We all make mistakes. Every one of us. But, by the time you have seen the banned mark under someone's name, let me assure you that the offending member had been warned via posts, PMs from several of us, corrections or hints from other members.
Their biggest mistakes are in failure to protect a vendor, our members and forum with too much info. That can be edited until they get the hang of it.
If they want to go to war, then both the attorney and the minister come out in me. We do demand respect. Cuz some of us put our entire lives into doing forums to help others also chronically ill. So, if someone comes out with guns blazing at me or my mods because they r high as a kite, they get a final warning. Or, they get their arse kicked to the curb. My moderators don't like when a ne'er do well treats a lady as badly as i can be treated.
Truth is, quite a few i have banned, for the sake of the forum and the members and vendors, do keep in touch with me via email. One gets to know and help many a person doing this for about 24 years.
We all consider whether a member with attitude can be blended into the family. At many a forum, its A OK to flame another. Call each other names.
I raised my son. And well. So, I am not running Romper Room. And, I kid ye not when I say these are dangerous times. So, info will be edited but none of us ban instantly. Promise.
