it's far from ideal, but it's really tough to execute the ideal state with limited human resources, as you could probably tell, my fellow ex-moderator :santa:
though I don't have that much problem with posting off-topic these days, from a peasant user point of view I'd rather have this than issuing premature and unnecessary punishments all over the place for even the slightest infringements

This might be true. Maybe a combination of removing posts more actively with banning users who end up spamming the same post that has been made a million times already would work better. At some point I do think one should ban and just move on. It worked with bpdscolony didn't it? I've never even seen somebody complain about his permanent ban.

Would like some clarification since for some reason my post got deleted - do you think I should be permanently banned or not?

Get over it and move on. And yes, I know what I am talking about.

I just think it's a bit ridiculous that a post calling for my banning is allowed but a post fighting back against that is not.

You do realize that the original post doesnt actually call for your banning at all?

Oh well, you probably are well aware and are just using this to troll/put pressure on the moderators. I shouldnt take the bait

Oh right, you just called me a notorious troll and suggested the forums would be better if I was banned. Totally different! By the way did any Basement members even post in the thread that made you complain to begin with?

I didnt suggest anything. I asked if it would be better if trolls were banned. I just mentioned you as an example of a troll.
