   Public banning reason
  It would be nice with a reason why a certain person was banned. When someone new gets banned I always browse his/her posts but I never manage to come find the reason. You could have a tooltip when you move the cursor of the name telling why the person got banned.

The rules are clear, and banning is a result of violating the rules. You don''t need all this supplementary information. ;  There is no reason for us to support this kind of voyeurism. The rules are clear. If there needs to be clarification of the rules it will be made. The specifics of any particular ban are the personal information of the person being banned and the forum administration. In simple terms, it''s none of your business.Common replies when a thread along these lines is made for the upteenth time:But how do we know what''s allowed and what''s not then?As stated before, the rules are clear. If you are skirting the line you''ll get a polite warning before any action is taken. Infractions that can lead to immediate action are all covered in the rules. Read the FAQs. Use common sense. If you lack basic literacy or common sense we probably don''t want you around here anyway. But we need to be able make sure people aren''t abusing their powersThis isn''t a public site, and it certainly isn''t a democracy. It''s a private site run by the owners. The actions of everyone those owners appoint (moderators) are visible to them and they can choose to revoke the powers they granted to them at any time. If you have a specific complaint you can send an email about (all other forms of complaint are subject to be closed as spam/trolling at our discretion) and patiently await a response, which the staff are not obliged to give.Remember, this isn''t a schoolyard, while not shirt and tie we like to keep it as a professional environment. In the schoolyard you may go "oooo, you''re in trouble" and spread gossip about who got a talk to from the teacher. In the adult world the reason someone was fired or displined is no ones business, unless the company by concidence sends out a memo the same week reminding employees about not surfing porn at their desks. ;  I hope I didn''t make the impression of being tempted to do anything stupid.
