Faith now has her own forum (pertaining to evcforum.net topics)

You should certainly bring her back - then we can run a book on:1) the first thread asking for her posts to be restricted2) the first thread asking for her to be banned3) the first thread where she walks out4) the first thread where she's made an admin again5) the first thread where someone asks why faith was banned againThe possibilities are endless!

I oppose permanent bans on principle. Like spankings and beatings, they usually occur after a failure of measured, predictable discipline. The pattern is like that of parents who ignore childish misbehavior until it makes them angry enough to hit.

I support them for pretty much the same reason - one of the things that has always irked me about this forum is the patronising, child-like manner people like faith are treated in. It's ridiculous for a forum to have to try to discipline adults like small children - you've been a naughty girl, go and sit on the virtual naughty step. Admin trying to act in loco parentis for people who have been adults for many decades is beyond daft.If you are unable to moderate and control your own behaviour to interact with other adults then all of the weak patronising behaviour modification added here is not going to solve the problem and is actually a rather demeaning uneven relationship for people to have in this virtual medium.

sorry you misunderstand me - I SUPPORT permanent bans but far quicker and with no second chances. If someone is not able to interact as an adult, just tell them that and send them on their way - none of this "well I'm blocking you again for the 17th time and I REALLY want you to think about your behaviour this time" nonsense.
