There is no "us and them" only if someone chooses to see it that way, I certainly don't. We dont' like giving warnings much less banning. We would love to see ALL members always abide by the guidelines to which they agreed but that unfortunately is a nice dream, LOL

The information in the TOS is a outline of how the warning process works, as I stated several times we do try and educate first if we see that the violation was not intentional and maybe the member doesn't understand fully whatever section of the TOS is violated.  I don't feel that we should update the TOS to the education process because that is done on a case by case basis depending on the severity of the violation, what it is, etc there are just too many variables to make that blanket statement that we will ALWAYS give education before a warning.

 

Thanks
