Gotta be honest, i didn't know members were actually banned, just thought they went elsewhere.

Good to know and a nice touch in making it clear re banned profiles.

Some are. Not many. Fewer than almost any other site I've seen. Just as with any group of people, sometimes you get an occasional bad egg.

Definitely a good change. Now we won't have people replying to accounts that are banned accidently.

Unrelated, but it seems like we've had a lot fewer people go full troll and get completely banned in the past year or two. That's probably a good thing, right?

We don't ban that many people, period. Never have.

Sometimes I think that's been to the detriment. We give people so many chances, it ends up creating more hostility as people can keep trolling, and agitating, etc. Sometimes a quicker ban would have been a wiser choice.

But basically, we ban about four to six unique non-spammers per year, and it's usually not six.
