Could one month suspensions be a viable alternative to banning in 90% of the cases? This might give everyone a chance to settle down and think things through. Perhaps a 'three suspensions and you're out' policy might be something to consider. This site contains a lot of difficult and upsetting subject matter...which must be properly discussed...but which can bring out the worst in people, at times.

I received a '3 points' Infraction quite recently - expired 01-01-'10 - for
'Insulting Other Member(s)' in the thread 'SNOW CIRCLES ...'.
Indeed I was rather rude, & although I had a good reason, it was against the rules.
The moderator - No, no name - who imposed the infraction on me, took into consideration that I did make a point but not in a legitimate fashion, & therefore kept my 'punishment' symbolic.
So I gather that you really have to be way, way, way out of line to get totally banned.
And again, there should be no discussion over a descision made by the moderators, on the Forum itself.
