Suggestion on Banned Users

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have recently heard several complaints that users are being banned without the reasons being completely clear.  Here is a suggestion.  When you ban a user, let the rest of us know why they were banned and/or reinstated.  That will give others knowledges as to what behaviors to avoid and it will let everyone know why they were banned.  One user has stated they were banned for being too harsh, yet I have witnessed others being far more harsh then he was being.  Yet, they are still posting away.  I have seen some very rude comments slip by many people without warning.  Is being harsh and rude a real reason to be banned?  Disrespect should be curbed on all fronts.  We are all God's children and we should act in a brotherly manner towards all, regardless of faith, creed or culture. 
My suggestion is to just let us all know, who, why and when someone is banned.  This is a small courtesy to those of us who may have been speaking with these people or a small comfort to those that were being hurt by the individuals actions.
Thank you for all you do.
God Bless,
Angela

	That's why I started this topic Annie. That's often the reaction. Huh? Who? Why???? It would be nice if the Moderators could just give everyone a heads up.

	I agree, next time Salman gets the red card, I would like to know the extent of his foul play.

	I also think that someone who the Moderators are thinking of banning should know exactly what they said that the Moderators object to and that the offending poster should have the opportunity to defend himself because maybe he or she has been misunderstood. Also, what might to the fairest approach would be a banning for a certain period of time, maybe 3-7 days. If the poster comes back and continues to disobey the rules, then it is their fault and the Moderators could be judged fair. Annie
