It seems many members are getting banned for what are being called trivial matters, you know what they are, no need to list them here.
I for one realize why RE has taken to banning members for all of the stupid reasons he has. It’s because you all complain about these problems again and again, and the example he sets forth is to show you how trivial these issues really are.
Do we continue to make examples of all the members who do these trivial issues? RE is more than willing to ban you all for them, and all of you are at risk of getting banned for one of them sooner or later as they are far too commonplace for any member to not ever do them.
Make your decision wisely, as these annoyances are to be strictly banned or you must all ignore them. So what will it be, a member free forum, or a few extra posts?
A simple yes or no at the beginning of your post will help make the count go smoothly as the POLL feature won’t work even for me.
Choices:
Yes!
Ban for all the trivial reasons that we like to bitch about.
No!
Don’t ban for these reasons as they are readily ignored.

Yes. I support banning for trivial reasons.
I dont care if this would make a "decline in activity" in the site. At least the small activity wed have would be quality activity not posts like "HAHAHAHA YEAH LOL xD".

The internet is, in fact, not serious business (at least RE anyways).

Unless the person is constantly making retarded posts and topics, I do not care.

I agree 100%. Of coarse we should ban people for being purposely obnoxious or blatantly breaking the rules, but I don’t think it should be taken this seriously.
So, NO.

At what point to you make the distinction between "readily ignored", "constant retarded posts" and "they don’t learn their lesson"? That sounds awfully vague to me.
All rule violators should be warned once and then banned if they persist. Lesser offenses should get lesser ban times. Greater offenses should earn deletions.

I agree with gimp here, warning then ban.
Mods discrecion should be used too, rules are rules, but a tad of leniency is good.

what kind of "trivial reasons" are we talking about here...
I was banned for 3 days, reason being "stfu". If that’s what you’re talking about, fuck no to banning.

I don’t think "stfu" is a legitimate ban reason.

I really don’t have a problem with one-word posts and crap like that. I DO have a problem however with noob members who post annoying racist/sexist/disgusting/overly-vulgar/pseudo-druggie posts. Ban them. It’s fun!

Ban obvious trolls who are obvious, or people who never really contribute to the forums at all and make meaningless shit posts.
Or if they just say lol yeah, or stfu noob, gtfo RE noob. You get the point.
I also think there should start being bans on people who posts forum topics about "how can I get high" "where can I get cheap drugs" "what can I use to get high"
You catch my drift.

I mean if it’s an honest question and you can tell their not a troll, actually make a meaningful post instead of just telling them to "GTFO"
