I see it as a general rule, 'you can't call it out a foul if no-one's noticed and play has carried on'. Unless there's been previous warnings about his behaviour to cut that shit out, you can't just say at a random point "right that's it" and ban him for all the other times, otherwise it's setting a precedence for the rest of us so that we can be retroactively banned for shit we did that at the time wasn't called out. Just because I piss off LC or any of the moderators a bit too much once doesn't warrant all my previous posts being scrutinised for being unruly and then being punished for all of them at once. Ban/warn for every occurrence then and there, keep the punishments separate (but with previous warnings/bans in mind), or don't ban at all. I swear we as a group have had this talk before, it's about fucking consistency in moderation.
He could very well have been informally warned for previous times and we just don't know about it. It's not are place to know about Verb's private interactions with the Mod team. This whole thread is now a moot point though, from what I see on Verb's title, it appears to look as if he's not banned anymore.
A fair point, but it could either way. Neither of us know honestly. And I disagree with it being a moot point. Regardless of Verb's unbanning, I'm not focusing on the individual here. This shit could happen again and to any of us, albeit only a few are likely to feel it. Doesn't make it any less fair than beforehand if we just accept the status-quo that any of us can get retro-actively receive a combo-punishment.
Sometimes there's too much emotion in moderating.You're supposed to remain objective ya fuckin' gandernecks.
Verb's ban history for the last 12 months prior to this ban has one day in it and a handful of warnings. From the start of 2016, through to the start of 2017 he was banned for one day with enough warning points to add up to two days. A week would have more than sufficed to get the point across.
Why didn't they get added up to two days?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

If it was just LC he pissed off, sure, one day would have been an acceptable timeout, but he's pissed off virtually everybody here at some point. Dickery should be a bannable offense, and consistent dickery warrants a longer ban.

That's exactly the issue here. The ban was rolled out based on annoying activity that wasn't even worthy of warnings on their own. I'd understand if there was a clear stream of warnings and bans up to this point, but there wasn't. It went from 1 to 60 without touching the gas pedal.I believe the phrase is 0 to 100

I assume points go down after a period of time? It's been a while since my only warning.
