Khakisrule > Then how would anyone ever get banned? Everyone who is about to get banned is placed on that list. Once they achieve a certain number of antipoints, they are then banned. If you place that limitation in place, there will be no way to ban people.

I agree that people can change, but they have more than enough time to do so. I have never seen someone become banned in one day (well... for those who know ko*, he doesn't count because his third account was banned in a day, and most people know why). Generally, it takes a few days. Over the period of those days, the member has time to redeem themselves, or at least keep their mouth shut so that they don't say something stupid and get banned. Remember, everyone started out as a newbie, and we all know what it takes to become the people we are today, and it's not by b*tching, whining, asking "how to hack hotmail", etc. It takes time... time to get to know the community, time to learn how to search the archives, time to learn how to ask questions, etc. For those who don't like it, this may not be the community for them. All I know is that it takes *a lot* of negative points to get banned... it doesn't happen by accident.
