In theory, it's supposed to be a 'punishment', I guess, to force posters to comply with 'The Rules'.
In praxis, however... what it does is chase posters away and allow a board to die a less than honorable death.
I've seen it more than once. I don't know what the answer is... censor? Don't censor? Rules? Free-for-all? Just include personal threats to other posters and/or their families in the 'bannable offenses'? Or let minor insults , real or imagined, rule the day (and the board)?
Just sayin'....
I'm putting this in the place where I know it will be read by most, instead of some obscure category that nobody ever reads. Do with it what you will.
