Alright. I haven't been banned since April, so will my next moderation be like three days?

Looking at your history, it would depend what it is.

Speaking purely for myself, a low-level trolling transgression might garner you a warning, as it has been a long time since you were moderated for trolling. On the other hand you've been warned recently for spamming, and that could result in a (brief) ban.

Certainly you'd need to do something significantly wrong, given your current moderation history, for me to give you a ban of any great length.

So, it would have to be something extreme 'Cause I'm a good user?

That would be my interpretation yes.

You're making me nervous...are you planning to go down in a blaze of glory?

I think I have to do have a lot of moderations for that to happen right?

What going down in a blaze of glory? It is possible to do something so henious you get permabanned for it.

But for an established user that isn't a decision one mod can make. The process would go:

- You post something horrendous
- I ban you for a period commensurate with your history (maybe a bit longer because the transgression is huge, but mostly its just to get you off the forums ASAP)
- Then I go to mod chat, flag what you've done, suggest a permaban if I think its reasonable, and the mods discuss it over the next few hours/days. How long that takes would depend on mod availability and whether there is much disagreement.

It annoys me too. Requires a site upgrade which mods cannot do.

Don't worry, I won't do anything like that.
