Who decides on an appropriate length of a forum ban, and is it reasonable to go back and add time to a forum ban, near the end of the original forum ban?

Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I didn't ask that. I asked if it is reasonable to revise a ban as it nears it's end?

Why would it be? Since the person has been banned, they can't post. Assuming they've done nothing else wrong, why should it be extended?

It's more like reason doesn't apply in this place nor has it ever.

Exactly.

Makes no sense to me. Which is why I am left to wonder how open the banning rules are to personal motives.

Then again, you never know if (during the ban) the person sent insulting PMs, rude in-game messages or if other offensive posts were discovered.

"Offensive posts discovered"? Ha Ha Ha! How many bans would we all be subject to if mods practice banning us for old posts...and, how many bans could be issued for each past post on record?
