We have guidelines for a reason.  They are there so that we can try and keep this place a civilised and pleasant place to be.

Do we like banning members?  On the whole, no.  Personally I hate it when we have to do it. But if we do not follow our own guidelines we will allow this place to become a complete mess.

I had an issue recently with a member who accused me of being really lame when I said that if we did not impose some guidelines and follow through with them, this place would descend into anarchy.  He said that on the whole this was a benign place and that there really was no requirement for moderating as on the whole the members were a "nice bunch".

Whilst some of that is true, one of the principal reasons this is a nice place to be and that the member are a "nice bunch" is that the mod team work hard to make it that way.  Personally I scrutinise every single member that applies to join and if I think that they are not a genuine person, I do not allow them to join, currently I deny about 10 applications a day.  If I did not do that we would have anarchy.

I am passionate about this place not being over moderated and will work hard to ensure that it stays that way, but please believe me when I tell you that there is a mass of stuff that goes on in the background that you do not, and should not see.  The moderator team work hard and sometimes have to make difficult decisions, but as Doug has already said, no decision is made lightly, nor is it made unilaterally, we discuss this stuff at length to get a consensus before we do anything.
