SM70,
Thanks for clearing up a few issues I had. I had never asked them before but you took care of them quite nicely.
I used to post quite often in the Politics section when it was first offered. I stopped going by there because I became cautious and started being careful on what I wanted to say. I started second guessing myself on what to say because of the fear of being banned. So I stopped going.
Now I see that I was wrong in not going and will go back to the Politics and post what I believe is relavant.
I hope this cleared up some of the paranoia going around.

no one likes unresolved mystery. no likes deleted posts or threads. no one likes seeing people whose posts they've enjoyed being banned.
it is reasonable to expect folks to want explanation. explicit gory details are not necessary. just some little tidbit to help stop the speculation, rumors & stupid wtf threads.
ie. userladedah: banned: reason: disgruntled
ie. userladedah: banned: reason: legal issues
ie. userladedah: banned: reason: inappropriate pics
ie. userladedah: banned: reason: see this (closed) thread
etc. better short word reasons obviously could be found.

As for Bernadette's suggestion, I remember that along time ago there was an incident on someone being banned because he started being for being fresh and rude with the female members. Halx reprinted all the messges the banned person wrote and what her respondses to him were. She tried being curtious but to no avail. Halx took care of the situation right away. He gave his reasons on what he did wrong and what he expected the rest of the members should act like.
I not saying going this far but I think Bernadette's suggestion can be tried on trial basis to see if it works. I know its a lot more work for the admins and mods but I think it would be worth giving it a try.
Glad
