From what I understand he was banned for constant masses of crass trolling which I agree with.

It seems to me like Paul does like drama, but I don't know him, and I'm fully aware that not everything that seems is. So I asked him. He didn't tell. So I still don't know. Haha. |

It`s good to hear that established members are responding to Intro threads; I never intended to belittle those efforts, especially given that I do it so seldom myself. ![]()

In that case I feel I should clarify my broader point - a lot of people here get a ****ton of leeway to be dicks and generally bring people down, by virtue of "not having technically done anything wrong". We have very flexible rules that basically allow mods to ban whoever the **** they want whenever the **** they want to. Unfortunately it seems that the mods within themselves consistently fail to actually agree on how much is too much, with regards to members who have a deleterious effect on the morale/attitude of the boards. It's generally left up to a specific, high profile incident, before any consensus is made, and even then, its usually a big ****ing deal and isn't acted on swiftly when it does happen. A key example was what happened with sopsych. Any other forum would have handed out bans, and lots of them, long before that ****storm degenerated into the farce it was. There are other people who are still here, where I've been told by certain mods myself, that there is longterm, ongoing debate in the mod cave as to whether these people should be kept around. In fact, the phrase used was "I've been campaigning to have [member] banned for a while". My view is that if there needs to be a debate about whether someone should be allowed to stay, then the first question should be "Is there a really, really good reason *not* to ban this person? Do they add something irreplacable to everyone elses experience of the forums, that outweighs their worse qualities?" The answer to this question is usually just a flat no. Dirty for example, brought no expertise and no personality to the forums beyond being a troll. That's a case where the answer is "ban. now.". In comparison, someone like boo boo brought a ton of prog knowledge to the forums along with his worse qualities. As a result, he got a lot of chances to turn himself around and was only banned when he failed to do so.
