like any other place. you have rights and worngs, some great mods, some crooked mods, some things go well, sometimes things are fucked.
the main reason most are banned (from personal experience and eavesdropping in the background) is for good reason.
if user a is rude to user b, user a will most likely be warned and chastised. thankfully some mods do more than just say 'nay!' and tell you to shut up. many will explain it. they understand people carry different perceptions and explain the error.
then if person a flames person b again action is taken, and rightly so.
we try beyond all reason to show proper respect to each other, even if we get pissed. look at some notices where Lebell gives out wisdom of.... if you can't say something nice or productive then do not speak.
another reason many are banned are for a very good cause. this is a community. it's not a pay site where you sign a contract and are allowed to post such and such so much, period. you have to contribute (post), join others boards and maybe irc.
in other words.. we are social. if you are not (this goes to no one person) sociable then you are wasting resources and it is simply unfair to us who do produce more material/ideals for one another.
those who do not contribute are weeded and cut out. and considering my best friend has posted only six times but has an account proves that he isn't the biggest poster, but it is because he rarely has time to join. when he does, he contributes.
i'm not saying you're in heaven. that illusion was raped from me shortly after joining. such is life. you have good and you have bad.
all that goobly gosh said all you need to know for sure is this:
Contribute. Socialize. Post. Be good to your neighbor. Do not flame. sometimes invisible rules pop up but can be straightened out with patience and time.
also remember a basic common sense rule. you don't do anything rude or obsceene, you're not in trouble, not reprimanded, not assosciated with negativity, you are good to go. you are socialable or you aren't.
