    Dear Petal, you didn't realise her identity??? Yeah right!

    Has the penny dropped now, when I said about you having a 'dig' at Kewpie, re: 'given your history', etc.

    Shouldn't have been said. You owe her an apology.

    If you transgress in the general fora and receive a suspension ( the merits for or against is not the issue here ) there could be a perception that there is no real penalty if you were then allowed to retreat to th e bottom line.

    Change nothing. It's working.


    I know that for a fact.

    I miss the unreasonable skeeter, though. :'(

    Edit - For the record, I think both cases can be defended. Personally, I agree with skeeter here because I prefer a forum with "heavier", but less frequent, bans than one with recurring but "lighter" bans.

    There is also a tradeoff between length and range of the ban. If a public-forum-only-ban is to be as deterrent as the current all-forums-ban, then it probably needs to be much longer. Better? Worse? I think that depends on preferences, really.

    Who cares? Everyone knows already. Nobody cares.

    Kewpie is MissOleum.

    There.

    Now watch as nothing happens.

    Yes, I also agree that there's merit on both sides of this argument.

    Extending the normal length of public forum bans would be a natural way to compensate for any reduction in their deterrence value were their scope to be restricted. I'd support such a measure should private forums be exempted from moderator bans. Although, it could be perceived as unfair to those who don't belong to any private forums. Such members are just looking at longer bans with no compensating benefit.

    Honestly, I do wonder just how much bans actually deter bad behavior. Most violations strike me a "crimes of passion". People aren't weighing the pros and cons in such cases. They're simply reacting. I see the value of a ban as a time-out mechanism, but beyond that, I'm really not sure.

    I'm saying that the other private forums are different supermarkets inside the country of RHP.

    RHP is a site, not a world or country.

    Forum privileges are just that, break the rules, they are removed.

    Forum bans would become badges of honor for users, regardless what clan or club they may be a member of.

    The only way I see this rule to change, is 3 strikes and you are OUT.

    Most of us would be OUT by now.

    I often stick to private forums when the public becomes dull, I don't think many would be impressed if I threw a swear fit out here and got a 14 day ban only to be posting all over private forums.

    Don't see how anyone on here, would find it a badge of honour to have had a forum ban. 😕
