More members banned
More "Why was ______ banned?" threads
More moderator bashing.
I have a problem with a banning of members and take issue with many of the decisions that have been made.
I think my feelings are shared by many other members as evidenced by all the threads that pop up after someone is banned.
I am upset because my friends or people I like are gone.
Gone without warning.
Because of the nature of this place
(lets face it - this is not a Pottery Lovers Forum)
people guard their privacy and identity and prefer to remain very anonymous.
I do.
When someone is gone for good there is often that moment when we would like to send someone an email address and say keep in touch.
I think those banned would likewise welcome such an opportunity for members they have a connection with to have the option for one last goodbye post or to leave some kind of email address.
So perhaps some kind of mail forwarding system maybe for 1 month before all ties are severed might remove some hostility and anger that people feel when they have suddenly lost contact.
Certainly such a courtesy does not need to extend to people banned for spamming, multiple accounts, underage members etc or maybe not for those who have not been members for a certain amount of time or with a low post count
Just my thoughts
