Z!re has done nothing I could consider so serious that would lead to an immediate ban without applying the 3-warning rules.

I believe WC made this post before you did:

Z!re has been banned, Z!re has received 3 official warnings and several requests relating to his/her posts.

Above that all, TBBQ has been a fan of it too, the things Z!re does now.

May be I am reading this wrongly but I don't understand what you're trying to say.

And indeed, as Zap said, TBBQ has done far worse things than Z!re, and yet people still like him and keep him in (although I can remember he was kicked from some other board), while people don't do the same with Z!re and issue a ban.

Ok, point one out? Have I incessently flamed someone? The last time I remember flaming someone was Blitz and that too a LONG time ago and if I remember correctly I wasn't alone. Have you seen me posting obscene things? hurtful remarks to someone? I have been warned by WC a couple of times a long time ago. Since then I've changed my ways out of respect for this boards rules. And I don't think many "like" me. Yes, thats a part of being honest. One makes more enemies than friends.

Anyway, I think my point is clear already, but I'm not satisfied with this "immediate course of action" without applying your own rules.

Read my first remark. WC had warned Z!re.

Z!re is one of the most active members in the community and although her language is sometimes harsh and she is very bipolar (doom <-> pure happiness) sometimes, and I find she mostly has something to tell in here. The only thing you need to do is read the underlying thoughts to make a seemingly useless post contain a lot of information.

Ironically, two of your remarks were a result of lack of reading. IMHO there is a fine line between using harsh language, being critical, honest and down right insulting.

... I don't think there should be any need for a moderator or admin in a civilised forum, why is it so difficult to impose self control/self moderation on your posts?

My thoughts exactly.

I used to think programmers/developers were a level better than regular people. I used to consider them 'enlightened', ones who would rarely enter into conflicts and have self control. Alas this qumunity has a lot to learn. This infighting will lead to its destruction lest members learn to control themselves.

MystikShadows, have you ever been to www.linuxquestions.org ? Try posting in the softest tone with wrong intentions and just see how quickly you're kicked out and banned. IMHO QBN is one of the most liberal boards online. Rules are in place for a reason. You break them you get punished, I break them I get punished.

Edit:

That was just in his first post. Three attacks in the damn thread you posted the rules in.
I'm glad to see the rules apply to those that you'd like them to apply to.

Try justifying this - the court of law hangs someone because of a crime he/she commits. A criminal kills someone. In the end we witness death of an individual. Does that mean the court of law is a criminal as well? I'm sorry if you don't understand the relevance of these words to your post.
