i totally understand the reasoning behind the bans, i do not have a problem with someone looking at a rule and then interpreting it in a way that they have

all i was enquiring about was the lengths of bans and the swiftness of their issue

a one day ban, a weeks holiday, that sort of thing used to be something to be discussed about in a room somewhere with everyone explaining (in their own words) why said person had been banned for whoever long and everything was out in the open

now it seems that the bans happen, and then any further mentions of the whys or the how longs gets binned as well

we all know that the lexness of the moderation had been questioned in the recent years, but it's now feeling like there is no more room for maneuver, let along any worth in negotiating the length as they all seem to have a "you've been banned, it will never be lifted" attached to it

the feeling is now that there is not much fun left on the forum and whereas before you'd get a cheeky reply in return, now it's more likely to be points and bans
