Maximum this should be a one week ban. A month would be really harsh.
The existing system of escalating bannings makes the decision to ban someone, along with the penalty, appear really petty and arbitrary when a permaban comes along.
DM wasn't doing anything harmful or serious. He didn't bring in any personal information and was simply flippant in tone. I really can't see how this sort of thing is so serious as a permanent banning. The quality of the content the guy generated was so high that to shun him is to deprive ourselves.
I just don't see how anyone can call this a "community" when the most consistently valuable content generators are treated as a problem and illiterate and insane postings (see the conspiracy theorists) are treated as sacrosanct. There should be a place here for all of us.
Stop with the permabans.
The rules are there if you don't follow them either because you didn't care about them or didn't read them then it is your fault.
Honestly, shut up you sanctimonious fool. You hypocrite liar. You bearer of false witness.

Maybe some of these super pious assholes that are dancing on the casket should have a little forum vacation themselves, to humble their clearly itchy trigger fingers.

What do you mean he wasen't banned from the website. He was just banned from the forums.
That means he can't read any PMs and cannot access his own wall. He also cannot see anyone else's profile.
How do you know that.
While I know it's completely inconceivable to think that I may possibly have ever been banned, being the wonderful and truly awe-inspiring individual that I am, but yes...it has actually happened. So I speak from personal hell...err...experience.

You presume that captain.crazy or jjm or whoever the other guy was were the ones that reported DM. They may very well be innocent of that and yet still be pleased with the situation.

I just got back from a vacation! DM knew the rules, and it seems that there are a lot of folks here that like to push the boundaries with regards to the rules. It sounds to me like DM had this coming for a long time.
I had nothing to do with his getting banned, at least not according to his email posted earlier.
i for 1 think that c.c. needs to go back to the more hands off policy that they used to have, let people just foe each other.
The world is not made up of shiny happy people all the time, why does c.c. now feel the need to protect everyone from getting their feelings hurt, are you now trying to tell me that, that "turtles" shell is actually thin skin?
are we no longer allowed to say, "suck it up cupcake"?
I'm disappointed with the avatar change, captain! Your last one really was much more fitting.

What are you talking about? I am DM...
No, you're lack.
