No disrespect to Ken who started the thread or any mod who thought it was a good idea, but the half dozen of you guys just can't keep up with the amount of continued returning guys. It really doesn't make any sense and choosing to protect the feeling posters that have been banned over posters that haven't been for x amount of years is mind boggling.
I haven't always been a good boy, I've had my infractions over the years but it's highly disappointing knowing that I could go ahead and get crazy tomorrow, get banned, and be back before church Sunday without anyone being able to call me out on my bullcrap.
I asked in the first reply if we could discuss the rule, so there I went. I know we're not supposed to whine about moderation on the forum but there really isn't another option.
JJust puzzling this rule.

We've asked that people report folks that they think are returning - and when they do we discuss and make decisions on what to do.
This is a tricky issue because we don't want to punt people until we are fairly certain they are returning users.
I would also suggest though that you seem to be letting this issue cause you far too much anger. It is a hockey forum - if you are getting this twisted up about it I would maybe advise some self reflection. We have ignore features available - if some of these users are driving you this batty - use it.
Ultimately we are grown adults here that should be capable of dealing with some irritating posters. When the mods feel it is appropriate - people are being re-banned.
