Possible that a mod could give us the reason Sonic was banned?

If it was a mod. First of all.

But yea the banning is a bit toight lately.

A lot of time gets invested in these forums I almost have 10k posts I can promise you if the ban hammer just happens to fall upon me I would get a little upset due to the time that one committed to this forum just to be taken away from you

An outright ban is very rare, the exceptions being spammers and clones of previously banned users. It is also the absolute final step and the decision is not taken easily nor in isolation. The bossman is not in favour of banning members, especially long time members and it is truly the last thing that anybody wants to do.

The overwhelming majority of bannings are due to an accumulation of infraction points. There is discussion around this as it is (in my opinion) unfair on long time members who have accumulated the odd, non-expiring infraction points over the years (me included!!). All it takes is a bad day or three and that user could be over the 10 point threshold.

Why are you concerned? :p

That's a relief!

I was just so afriad because this place is my home. I spend more time on here than I do with people in real life.

I would probably commit suicide if I get banned

I really think all permanent infractions should be converted to expiring. I see no need for it. No offence can be that great.

I am concerned. Infraction here are like those numbers gang tattoos are in prison. They are a sign of your importance , experience and most of all reputation.

At the moment I get no respect on this forum because I am like that white collar criminal who defrauded a pension scheme and is in for 5 years.

I have to keep out of peoples way and have a tub of Vaseline handy if one of the hard core criminals (marine1, zewp, stochos, Paul Hjul, lightscribe, Ockie, morkhans etc)wants a good time. :p

What does one have to do around these here parts to get myself like a permenantly infraction (stick on tats don't count)

Just ask McD, he gave me one when I asked. In 12 years never managed to get one. It expires after a year though.
