So do you think they should ve been banned for a longer period of time? like you know, requesting a longer ban for them?

Some of those temp bans should be perm IMO see the same guys trolling every sony article here for months.

There are many reasons why a ban could be shortened. I'm sure there are reasons for them. That being said, it's also curious to see some regular offenders (as in, multiple same offense over the course of the last 12 months) still being at the 1 or 3 days ban level...

I'm not on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you found someone was permabanned a long time ago and that person registered again and went on to "go straight". Would that person still be subject to an instant permaban, or is there any room for making exceptions within the limits of common sense etc?

What if this person owned up to it with the intention of becoming a responsible poster and had proven as such for a period of time?

Thanks.

Thats actually very true.

Of course it was a record... only me received two unfair bans because mods oversensitive.

The latest ban I received was in January when I lost my control and called a user idiot... after thant I didn't make any other specific insult to another user.

Excuse me, i was banned for trolling Nintendo. I win this month.

Different users are viewed differently.

I've learned that myself and you would very well know that too. i.e you've got a history of skating the line and playing the system so when you make that mistake to go a bit over it, bang.

Wouldn't be the first time, though I don't think I can remember a previously permabanned user who made a new account and was being tolerated during my modship.
From the old times I remember obieslut and Rock_on_2008 made new accounts and behaved.... well better than before.
