If I had done something wrong I would like to be informed so that I could change my ways.
Those who get abusive when they are told why they have been banned should be cast out permanently.
No one who is doing a job as a volunteer, for the benefit of everyone, should have to be subjected to abuse.

Margaret, its not always a slam dunk ban, when a thread starts to veer of course, and people start to get nasty, a post of the rules is inserted in the thread, by the admin, if that is ignored then the thread is either closed or deleted, and the offender banned, what else can the admin do, when the perpetrators have been warned. We definitely don't need some of the nasty senseless abuse, like the grand wizard seemed to enjoy dishing out, this web site is now over 75% bluudy Acc Stanley, there only seems to be about 10 regular posters about topics of interest left on here.
