To the moderators of this forum:

What happened with Rufus? I had a PM saying that he was re-banned, that his IP address was blocked so neither he nor NN could post in the forum.

As far as I realized, he asked very politely to be allowed to come back. Has something happened behind the curtains that he is blocked again? And what happened to the Christian virtues of forgiveness, I wonder? Is this really necessary???

Could we have a statement from the forum officials?
His new IP was added to the banned list until the moderators had contact with Julian, the guy who pays the bills. A discussion was held and bearing in mind Rufus's request to be re-instated the bans were removed and Rufus is now free to post again.
This is good news. Thanks for the info, Craig!

That's very good news. Smile

May I suggest that any future bans that are imposed should be for a limited time only, depending on the reason for the ban.. and only applied after a specified number of warnings.

Maybe a week for something not too serious (after eg a couple of warnings)

A month for something considered to be more serious and/or disruptive (after maybe 2 warnings or a previous ban for similar 'offences')

Permanent bans only to be applied for repeated disruptive and inappropriate behaviour .. and even then to be reconsidered after a cooling off period of eg 2-3 months.
