I'll throw my 2 cents into this discussion for what it's worth.
In the main this is a fantastic community and we all hang out here because, y'know.......it's a great place to hang out. From my own experience I think the mods do a terrific job, certainly any infractions I've copped have been deserved except for 1 which was overturned after discussion through email.
They are unpaid volunteers who devote their time for the betterment of this community.......so I always feel any heavy criticism is harsh to say the least.
That said I do think there is an issue with the process here.....100% there should be an instant perma ban button. It takes way too long to get rid of problem posters who are plainly never going to contribute positively to this site. CW's great shame is that we lost Jono because we entertained a dreadful human like Watson for so long.
This isn't a court of law and we are not subject to unfair dismissal legislations. The rules don't have to be transparent or the same for everyone or fair. Base the moderation decision on what is the best action for the site.
Posters like Burgey and Sledger for e.g. will frequently cross the boundary as they are written in the rule book. Is this site better without them? Of course its not!! While you had burgey sit out for a week at the end of the WC we had half a dozen dead set numpties posting who should have been given the flick without a second thought.
I don't blame the mods for this situation......it just feels like the rules and process are too black and white.

Being an unpaid volunteer is no excuse for being bad at something. I must admit I have no idea how good or bad the current mods are. Trolling Internet forums is such old hat I neither partake or take any notice of people that do. Often when the ban announcements are made I have no idea who the posters are. Lawsons Lock Jaw (or whatever) being a prime example. I assume most of the trouble is in the News/Politics forum that I never read.

I have reported a number of posts but as far as I can tell nothing was done so why should I bother in the future?Although it's a good point, it would be really helpful if no one replied to such rancid trolls and more people use the report function.
Again stressing the importance of reporting posts. Rarely have I ever seen even the worst post get reported by more than 3 people. The people who have kept this place thriving are volunteers, whether as posters or mods, and we're all in this together

He doesn't. Which is why he said " ... as far as I can tell ... " Read it yourself. Again. Or maybe the first time?

From personal experience the best way to avoid getting banned is is to be completely and utterly devoid of charisma. Nobody can object to you if they don't notice you in the first place.
Generally the more controversial members tend to be the most interesting to some extent

I don't know nothing was done, but it appears nothing was done because there is no feedback.
What have I done that deserves permanent banning?
If you want to ban me because I have a different view on certain forms of cricket to you then that is pathetic. I have also said I will not post those views anymore after my last ban.
