@looeeze I suppose that's the best course of action. She's a jerk, but no reason to let myself be just as petty. I'm better than that. Although the karma in it would make me smile. Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

She was banned for very nicely politely explaining what the issue was and that a certain user had hurt people. No for reals. Her posts were very measured and appropriate. I guess randos are far more important than longstanding well-respected members of the community. I've reported cruel posts by certain people and those are apparently okay. Report on, ladies.

Nope. She was completely appropriate and reasonable. Nothing that was a fair TOU violation. Apparently new user >>>>> someone who has put blood, sweat, & tears into this place. I accept the one I got. I knew it was likely and still went in Leeroy Jenkins style. She was well within bounds.

@doxiemoxie212 As we learned with one of the other drive-by's you get warnings for each post that is considered TOU - she had two in that thread, and may have had another in the last six months, which would have been enough to get her banned. Totally unfair - even one of the other posters pointed out that her post was 'well said'
@kiki75 I agree, also, didn't @LoveInDC post after @TravelingCouple (and others, sorry I don't remember who else)? I can see their posts got removed, but they didn't get banned.
How does banning work? Is it like, after a certain number of TOU's? Or just random? Anyone know?
@doxiemoxie212 It's a three strikes thing. But I think that they can expire after a certain amount of time. Maybe a year or so? I also think you could conceivably push it far enough that you could get yourself banned in one post but only if you really pushed it.

Wait....So let me get this straight. Someone comes in and posts a drive-by BFP to intentionally spite and hurt the TTGP ladies, and she ISN'T banned. But then someone who politely explains that said rule-breaker 1) broke the rules and 2) hurt people by said rule-breaking gets banned?
Honestly, in the future, can we all just agree that we will each comment ONE TIME with the word "reported" and that we'll each report the new person who is violating TOU? I know the flame drama is fun, but it's not effective if it ends up with one of us getting banned and the new person being able to move forward. Also, the flame threads encourage MUD posts, which again, lead to people we care about getting banned.
@MrsMiller8588 I'm not sure - I know one of the IF ladies has reached out to the admin, but I don't really have much experience... other than this which was pretty freaking awesome

"Multiple warnings may result in a banning of your account." Usually you can get 3 warnings within 6 months before being banned. Warnings fall off after 6 months - or they're supposed to at least.
Also, it's not just for the forums. If you "flood the site" by reporting "too many things" within... some time frame... you can get a warning for that. I may have gotten that warning when I got sick of an old drive-by being an asshat and the TTGP ladies being reported/getting warnings for their responses.
I don't think you can come back from a ban like you can bump-jail. She'd just have to make an alternate account and not be open about who she is (because you can get re-banned if BGs find out, or IP banned). *hint hint*
Oh man... this is seriously upsetting. I am furious that such a beloved member of our community would be banned, especially like this.

I'm also furious, @LoveinDC has been such an awesome and supportive member of this community and her post over there was honestly kinder than I think I would have been able to be. It sucks that someone who went out of her way to be nasty to us is valued above a long-time contributor with so many strong friendships on the boards.
