Well, that's the other funny thing about banning is that there really is no way to ban someone on the internet. It's a token gesture. Anyone can always use a new account and start again. There is no way for us to control that. In fact, it really amuses me when banned members aren't intelligent enough to figure this out and argue violently to be reinstated. It also amuses me that people make such a big deal about banning.

So, we don't really ban the individual, we ban the user name. They can start up again with a new personality/forum name, and if they cross the line, we ban them again. Eventually, we hope they get tired because it is such a waste of energy, really. Stupid trolls are really obvious and get banned the second time pretty quickly because they are sooo obvious. Smart trolls creep back into the system and if they don't cross the line, well, that's fine. As long as nobody crosses the line, nobody gets banned.

There's got to be some control, even a token one, otherwise this will descend into just another internet porn site. And that's not what CMA is about. Well, not usually.
