Only 4 persons were "permanently" banned from this site in all 6 years of its existence. One was provocative and persistent anti-semite, one insane person with apparent paranoid alcohol-fueled delirium and 2 people who were insulting and attacking DIFFERENT members all the time. I fail to see how their absence can be a bad thing for the forum.
Despite what other people here may say, I did not ban "permanently" anyone else, all others deleted their accounts on their own will. And even that is a relative term, there is no way to really ban someone permanently. Anyone banned can return under different identity and behave, I would not notice that. But they don't. They are persistent to prove that I can not ban them so they reveal their identity immediately and get banned again. Or sometimes they don't reveal identity, just behave their usual way and get banned even without me knowing it's them.

Admin .Can I just ask is there not a possiblity of a parole scheme .Say Let a banned member come back on parole for a while see how they behave if they are good and abide by the rules they can stay . As it stands at the moment as soon as the person makes an apperence they are reported and kicked out . I dont mean let the dangerous lunatics back you understand.
Those 4 members that were banned "permanently" were allowed back to the site not once, but 3-4 times. Only after that I started banning them on first sight. How many times do you think they need? Over 9000?
And I don't know how else should I stress that I banned this way only 4 members in 6 years and out of many thousands of members. Does this look harsh to you? Do you imagine me like some kind of capricious dictator who bans people left and right for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
I have very solid reasons to ban those 4.

Too many people have their hands preoccupied tending to other fun business....too hard to type with your tounge or toes
was that too quiet...?
That's really sad.
Oh, wait. Nevermind. I just realized that you're talking about beyond the past few weeks. Duh on my part.
