We (the mods) even have a dedicated page for the "Hot Users".

I highlighted the already permabanned users. Now do you really think we should also permaban some of our most contributing users such as ethomaz, VGKing, happydolphin, kowenicki, S.T.A.G.E. and man-bear-pig ?

(I didn't mention M.U.G.E.N since the last two moderations were requested)

Quite frankly yes i do.

Depending on the type of moderation ofcourse. But lets take Ethomaz as an example...

Lets say all 8 of Ethomaz's bans was because of blatant trolling...(obviously its not im just trying to make an example) then by all means, he needs to go irrespective of hes contribution.

And to be honest these users will not appear so frequently on the ban list if they know they will get permabanned. Just because people contribute by creating threads and posting does not give them the right to disobey forum rules. Its a very weak argument.

Edit: When i said "he needs to go", it doesnt necessarily mean instant permaban. But just anything to make it clear to them what they are doing, and if they do it again they will get permabanned. Otherwise nothing will really come of the moderation. It will get to a point where certain users are unbannable because of their contribution. Thats ridiculous. This community is waaaaay bigger than 6 very active posters/thread creators.
