I think the error is assuming there are some mythical guidelines or rules for when to, or when not to ban.

I am sure the mods do try to do their best, but, there is quite simply no clear frame work for them to demonstrate consistency or transparency.

Basically, it all goes on behind a screen. We are not privy to all the goings on, and, arguably, that is just the way it is, we either suck it up or move on.

Clearly, a ban is of little meaning to many posters anyway.

Possibly internet forums are the last frontier for self regulation - i.e. if there is something you don't like, either rail and rant about it til you get banned, ignore it and move on or find (hmm, mayhap even start) another forum.

I neither accept nor reject this notion by the way, just highlighting that is the way it seems to be.

I have no gripe with Annie or Andrei regardless of any previous agreements/disagreements.

They can only do their best with the tools (no I don't mean posters by that term Grin

) they have at their disposal...

So, in short, I do not make the assumption that there are, in fact, rules for banning!

ABUSE.

In particular:

Cyberbullying "involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others." -Bill Belsey[22]

not a lot of point worrying about something you in fact have no control over...

all you can control is yourself....no one else..

although some think they have special privilege when it comes to abusing others....

You are making mountains out of mole hills while ignoring your own activity.

Just to prove how incorrect you are.....would you mind posting all the comments I have made which are critical of Mr. Hicks?

If Stan can have babies, or the right to anyway....

Does that include ripping into a newcomer on AP as some kind of Aussie schill, and in terms unbecoming an alleged lady?

Great idea. Meetings every morning at 10 sharp. Cods can bring in the coffee. Grin
