If the sexual content rule is still around, then there's a rule thread somewhere which has not been updated and if so, it's a simple error on our part.
As for the rest of the discussion, it might bring up some points but they may also be highly biased. It would perhaps be interesting to ask the community in general if they think permabans of some of our members has decreased the quality of the site. Another interesting question one could ask now is ; moderation is done in a very general rather than set way, different mods moderate in somewhat different ways. There are pros and cons, one big pro is that people who are generally nice are generally not moderated as much - people are given some amount of freedom as long as they behave. On the other hand, moderation becomes more personal, there could be favoritism - it basically opens up for human error. Although I think it's ultimately something for the mod team to sort out, I wouldn't mind a discussion on this in it's own thread if people have some strong ideas concerning this.

Well, for once I do agree with Unfan that MB is playing favorites, I honestly can't think of any reason why Unfan is more worthy of a permaban than say Captain Caveman.
I guess Caveman's excuse is that he didn't piss off Big3, which is what Unfan claims.

Because people are asking about the unfan, I can say that he's been permabanned indefinetly because he has a history of insulting other members and getting moderated which included tempbanning which he nevertheless didn't seem to learn much from.

Then why does Caveman get away scott free?

Caveman continues to do all of these things on a grand scale.

Those are things from his registered moderation history, but you also have to remember that a lot of moderation goes on in the background over PMs. I have nothing personal against The Unfan, but I don't think his permaban should come as a surprise to anyone. He's a repeat offender and likely will continue to be if he ever comes back.

I just think there should be consistency, there are worse repeat offenders on this forum than Unfan, if you're gonna ban him for his track record, others should be punished too.
