10 days is fine, but 20-30 days is a excessive. i'll never see the point or approve of a 20-30 day ban.

What's the big deal, you have to have done a number of offences to get a ban that long, its a final warning for them to consider before the permaban.

i respect all the mod's for the job they do cause it's not the most glamorous, and it doesn't gain you any friends and it's a tough job, but i don't see a reason for a 20-30 day bann no matter how many times a rules been violated.

 

then again exsessive trolling, flaming, or insults are exceptable, but i won't be comforable with it.

 

i got banned this time last yr. for tagging a thread. we all do it but i got bannd for spamming. now i could admit i spammed before then, but bookmarking, or tagging a thread is no reason for a bann that i wasn't even here for. i was gone for to months before the bann occurred.

Barioz you should look into over turning that one for me. then again i think you did it.

Fair enough, I think a lengthy ban for legitimate reasons is fine but I can understand other approaches too. I do like how our mods work, the recent permaban of a certain user that was always confrontational and had a serious attitude problem was a great call as he did nothing positive for the community. Sometimes you have to break some eggs, I know I've been hit with the mod hammer enough to mellow my posts down. I have some bans on my list that were harsh but with hindsight and a fresh pair of eyes I can see how the mod team maybe just got fed up and modded me (plus I think zexen had a crush on my profile).
