Why is it that so many new members get banned?

[Ryth]

I think you being able to come back at all is quite generous, I know if I banned someone on my forum, they'd never come back.

Which one?

Assuming that was targeted to all the links in my signature it's the one called Wolve's Den, though I hold a staff position on all the links in my sig. xD

If I were baned I'd regret it and want to come back straight away. It'd really tick me off if I couldn't. I guess it's fair enough though. However, some people who have been banned were generally nice people, and just said a few things that were unappropriate. It's a shame.

I get what you mean, there are members I miss who were quite nice, like Chris. I still think 2 years is quite leniant.
