He'd had countless informal warnings, 8 formal warnings, 4 previous forum bans of varying lengths, and 3 chat bans of varying lengths.
Anyone who claims that his posts were consistently within the
forum guidelines needs to re-read them and tom's posts.
He had the chance to turn things around, he chose not to, now he got exactly what he was told he would, so good for him, must have been what he wanted.
<shrug> Never did understand that guy.

Bullshit. He got 8 warnings sure, but he had 3694 posts. That means 3686 posts he DIDN'T get a warning for. That's 99.99 posts of his that WOULDN'T get a warning. Now if someone had 8 posts and got 8 warnings, I can understand him being banned. But 8 posts out of 3694 posts? Bullshit. He contributed to this site so much it's a shame that you see the need to kick him off.
And even this:
"You've nickle and dime'd your way into a forum ban one little problem at a time."
Who cares if he's caused a bunch of little problems? People really didn't hate him. I think that moderators should only ban someone if they really need to and the whole community is pratically on their side. I wouldn't say that was the case here. I would say most people enjoyed t-o-m and it's a shame to see him go. Another one lost today, in the past couple of months this has turned into a forum holocaust.

Well actually, the other side of the coin shows a great patience on the part of the Mods and the team.

Well that is a subjective response. I had no feelings either way, but you must try to reach out into the wider community rather than the closed environment of a few friends. You cannot say people didn't really hate him, he may well have been reviled and despised by many.

Again, you must try to reach out. You need to widen your limited horizon. From my viewpoint, no one I know and respect has been banned. perhaps that is the difference. I see no 'holocaust'.
