I feel sorry for a lot of members that we end up banning, because I appreciate how things build to those conditions that make them act the way that ultimately makes us ban them.
I may come across as heartless at the end phase of it all, but I understand that there was a reason people joined, there's a reason people want to come back, and there's a reason people don't leave the site after they're banned sometimes. A huge quantity of banned users make alt accounts to try and get back into the community.
I don't think we're the most awesome bunch in the world. but we do all communicate on a regular basis, and we are a community. And people like knowing they're part of a community. I don't hate or necessarily dislike the users we ultimately ban, but they lack understanding of the situation and aren't aware of how to conduct themselves... Sadly, the only way for them to learn sometimes is to be outcast so that they won't act in that manner in the future.
