Exactly, as the person harmed, you should probably get some closure. As an example, if I was banned because I claimed you sold me Oxy without a perscription, listed the location of your Shopper's Drug Mart and your real name, you'd probably be pretty pissed if I came back without having to make amends with you, correct?

I know I would be upset with the Mod team if the circumstances were reversed.

If we are letting posters sort things out, why have moderators?

Because as mods on this site have admitted, they can't / don't read every single post and rely heavily on the "Report Post" Button.

I disagree. People would likely just bait them into the same arguments and we'd be back at square one

Then they don't deserve to be back. If someone can get baited into the exact same arguments that got them banned in the first place, then there was zero point to letting them back.

For instance _______ will always get "baited" into the same arguments, because we keep having them on the board, which will NEVER stop. We will always talk about Jay Feaster, Mark Jankowski, etc, etc. If that set someone off once, it will again.
