Maybe stupid and silly are abrasive terms so I could have been more pleasant but tone is hard to judge, wasn't really upset or pissed off.
I suppose I'd like to see more openness with the moderators. It used to be not nearly as closed off. I don't think anyone has a problem with a 2nd chance but maybe come out and say "x poster was banned, yes it's him but we've given him a 2nd chance" etc.
Don't think it would be all that bad of an idea to open up the moderators to some forum members to bounce ideas off of. You've got a lot of great posters who might not make good moderators, might be helpful in the direction of the forum.

We actually do engage with other members of the community to get their input on some stuff.
As for letting the forum know when a user has returned - that would defeat the purpose. Often a second chance isn't going to work if everyone knows who the poster is right away.
Of course I'm also often amazed also though at how often returning posters don't change anything about their posting patterns - I mean if I was going to try to sneak back in I would at least try to be somewhat covert about it.
