#2 has been suggested before. I think the argument went: if the ban applies only to public forums, the offender won't be sufficiently inconvenienced, he'll just go off and post a bunch in clan and club forums to get his daily fix.
#1 puzzles me a bit. Are you saying that an individual under forum ban can't use the alert button or the Send Feedback link?

To argue that lame referred to the description not a person won't work either because you are using the word as if it were pejorative.
I must say that I didn't think a 'public' forum ban had any relevance with regard to affecting posting in any private clan \ club etc...curiously, I wonder if you can post in your own clan or club, as a leader or administrator. You can still 'hide' other members posts but you can actually make a sentence yourself...seems very odd.
I'm sure you're right r' punishment...it just seems a touch lame, for want of a better description lol...

Originally posted by drdonIt's unfortunate that 21st century slang has put both "lame" and "retard" into the collective vocabulary, to the point that both words have pretty much lost their original meaning. That same thing happened to the word "gay". Eventually even those of us who deprecate the corruption of the language will find ourselves using the terms.

Originally posted by johnygLOL ... that mod nailed you on that one. You should learn not to give him the satisfaction of quoting him over and over again.

from page 2 of clans forums.. the thread created by the moderation team: "Also, seemingly all of the regulars in here are now professional panty-twisters with low self-esteem, turning the place into a melting pot of little girls with hurt feelings and tears streaming down their innocent little fac ...[text shortened]... as well.
What does this type of comment have any business being in the site ideas forum?

Originally posted by johnygGot it one!the same sexist language and contempt for legitimate objections. Little wonder the moderation system is a dud.This sort response from moderators must stop. And to take up Kewpies' point below, moderators must be exemplars of moderation and temperate language.

Originally posted by johnygAlthough I'm not sure anything has really changed, and taken in the context of that period of time, the clan forum had had 'many' warnings from the moderation team. Maybe it was a single moderator, I'm unsure, but the fact remains that 'he' was only posting in the manner that that forum had become accustomed to...basically, it was positively TAME in comparison to the rest of a particular thread \ forums posts lol...but seriously, the comments were made after a long series of 'get your house in order' requests.

Originally posted by RevRSleekerEven a stupid (as a few insist) man like me, might expect the moderation team to at the very least follow the same rules and advice they enforce and publicly say. It is tame compared to a fair amount of crap in clan forum, but ether way the whole team or an individual from it shouldn't spew they same language and tone they wish to stop. If nothing else it just sends mixed messages as to what is appropriate. I mean SwissGambit felt it appropriate to use the same tone and language in the site ideas forum, and defend his and the mod's actions..
