I find it kinda funny how some people are saying, that they just KNOW that ~SS~ shouldn't have been banned. It's like, you don't even realize how many abusive/trolling/flaming posts/usernotes that have been removed or deleted by the Staff in this matter.

This thread is only still open because I think the entire Staff feels that it's important that the general public realize how bannings usual take place, and it isn't just a sudden, "hey let's ban him/her!" sorta thing. There's a process. And the offending member is given plenty of chances to shape up and they're informed of their current standing in regards to warnings and whatnot. Generally, people who are banned should not be surprised about it given that they were probably sent a FINAL WARNING, OMG, FINAL WARNING!!! notice.

Also, ditto DK. Let's not turn this into that sorta thread.
