Thank you Jon. That seems like a good way to handle it.

Say, should I actually propose "Any Buffista who gets a show gets their own thread"?
Trudy, I'm sure this will make several people think I'm completely insane, but I will support this proposal wholeheartedly.
It would even mean Tim just gets a thread for his show automatically, and I support it wholeheartedly.
I think that would be a more appropriate way of going about it, and I think more reflective of our nature as a community.

Sean, your logic seems perfectly sensible to me.
(Though I think you are completely insane for much more lewd reasons.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Jon, thanks for clarifying the Stompy response. The Stompies, in their wisdom, are more generous than I would have been. I do have a couple of points:
By definition, banning is not suspension. It had been my understanding that "banning" meant "not coming back". Ever. Otherwise it's just another suspension.
OTOH we do have this four-month rule. However my understanding is that it was written to apply to issues on which the community votes. The community doesn't vote on suspending and banning for violation of the community standards, at least not the same way it votes on procedure and thread-creation.
In other words, I don't think the 4-month rule applies to this issue. And I think the community would have to agree that it does before it gets used to try to reinstate a banned member of the community.
Just my three cents.

I agree. The definitition of "banning" seems crystal clear to me. It means we gave you a second chance, and probably a third and fourth. And you still violated the community standards through all of them. Therefore, you are not allowed back in.

I definately agree that banning is banning, but the 4 month rule is in regards to this vote

Which to me means point out the need for a page where all the voted on decisions are so I don't have to slog through things to find the decisions.
Or do the rules go immediately into the FAQ/Rules?

IMHO, someone who has been keeping up and really wants to be back in the fold (knowing he could be quickly booted again) deserves another chance.
(Particularly since there is the whole "this all happened so fast", etc. thing here.)
