Last I checked, we cannot see another members infractions. So saying they're not being punished is kind of a baseless assumption.
That's right! I think when mods call a person out in public and cuss them out and stuff, it makes it worse. Now I've never seen this happen, I think it might've happened before.

Pretty sure it's none your business unless Brad feels like it's okay for people to know why he was banned.
Heck, he was probably banned just so he could get away from the site for awhile and focus or school/work! :)
If you've done something to get yourself banned, anyone should be able to find out why.
It's just like being arrested, if you're over the age of 18 and arrested anyone can when you were arrested, why you were arrested, your mugshot, your bond, your release date, ect.

We won't publicly post why someone got banned, but if someone decides to ask, we can answer though PM. Open discussion will probably cause more drama than there already was so we definitely do not encourage that.

That's how flame wars start, people start defending/pointing fingers at the banned member and that raises hairs.
But I'm glad the option to find out via PM is there.

I've seen more flame wars start over non-banned members than banned members, though...

Basically this.
So many people start talking shit about people it's ridiculous.
And sometimes, they do it when said member isn't even able to SEE the things they say.
What's even sadder is that people will rep it because they agree. :l
Sometimes, I wish the derep option was there just for instances such as that.

Do you guys hear yourselves?
You're defending a fictional thing.
A thing that has no other significance but for you to complain if it's taken away. We don't need rep.
We've never needed it. It's never done anything for us. All it's done is encourage wrongful behavior. Or make people get desperate with trying to post "funny" posts.

Rep is a mixed bag. I don't mind having it, and people have fun with it. I'm also not entirely sure how it's going to work with the new forums, but we'll see.

I'm going to bring it back to people's attention that people really need to use the ignore feature more if a member bugs them a lot. Seeing too many posts these days of other people attacking certain members.
