My impression on this topic is also the discussion about the rules for banning/warnings (as the title says). And the link posted to, of THE_STORM, more as an example.

I see the forum thread of THE_STORM's case is taking over this somehow, which i find bloated. I read the situation yesterday only. I also read that there was a mistake made, and since council members/mods are also humans and can make mistakes, i am not suprised.

I DO however find it odd that THE_STORM is still in the warned members thread, because that thread is for WARNED members, and NOT for "WARNED but NOT WARNED" members.

About the rules, they are 'vague' or 'open' on purpose. As if we tighten them, this will look like a place to watch out what to say before get banned without warning.

I read the suggestion "set up rules for mods etc", meaning you want to set up rules, to follow rules. I mean, this is getting out of hand. What if a mod does not comply to those rules? Do you want to make a seperated group to warn/ban mod's or whatever?

I think this thread alone can make moderators / council members notified about any dissatisfaction about treating some members in some situations.

As a final note, i want to stress out not to bloat things up to unnescesary proportions.
