It pains me to see the consequence dispensed today, the banning of a long-time poster who had achieved both a high point total and high score. In order to reduce the likelihood of the most severe consequence in future, might I suggest that posters might be blocked from posting? Maybe for a day, or a week? But time to reflect and hopefully reconsider what has transpired.

I know that I often do realize that others have already posted answers to my posts or those of others because I read them sequentially. I also don't always realize that I have a PM waiting, because that box does not always appear on my screen if the message I'm reading is brief. Or I may ignore that green box if something else has my attention. To ban a poster under the assumption that he is fully aware, and intentionally non-compliant, may not be appropriate under all circumstances.

I hope that a more moderate penalty, blocking of privileges for a set period, is implimented. I would also hope that roos might be retroactively granted a temporary suspension of privileges, rather than the more severe penalty that he has already received.
