That's far too extreme. There are a lot of members who change and become more agreeable after they find out what a great place this can be.

For instance; if that's how moderation was taken care of you'd have people like Carl no longer here. And we all love Carl!

 

I personally think the moderating system we have currently going is the best, and fairest since I've been here.

I guess my example was too extreme.

But something needs to be done about repeat offenders, they just dont take offenses seriously enough, especially posters who have been here for a long time.

And maybe if there was some sort of rule that dealt with users who are repeatingly offending for a consistant period of time, then Carl might not have had such a long ban history.  Loving Carl isnt a good enough reason to not help move the community past the constant fanboy bickering that goes on in almost every thread.

 

But the thing is, we need to take the most balanced route that we can when moderating people. There is no one moderation fits all; we do things by a case to case basis because there are a plethora of different aspects to consider. There are a lot of people that are great users but can sometimes lose their cool or get offended a bit easy, most moderations that I've seen from my time on this site would fall in that category. From what I've seen, whenever there is a repeat offender who obviously doesn't add much to the site, he is shown the door rather quickly.
