There's quite a few perma banned members over the years who I miss. Many just got out of hand one time and broke a shroomery commandment, rather than being flaming and bigoted fucktards. Now they're history. Doesn't matter how many posts you have or what you've contributed to the site over how many years, rules are rules... according to rulebooks.

You can't get pardoned if you don't get arrested in the first place!

When I lived in Canada it was illegal but I smoked all the time in the public. As did everybody else.
God I miss CA, and I have no desire to smoke weed.

The pub isn't much different these days imo it's less active though. The banned users thing though is a valid point. It takes all kinds to make a community, especially one dedicated to the misfits. Look at Sheekle. He's a great example. Everyone wants him back, even if there's a valid reason he's gone. But let's be honest the dude was a massive troll. The site has become less tolerant. The moderation, the staff. Maybe some new moderators would help, I don't know. I do know that it's been pretty obvious and kind of sad watching some of my favourite posters slowly turn themselves into something they aren't so they can fit into some idea of what the ideal poster is supposed to be. Some of that is the social atmosphere, some of it isn't. Sheekle being banned was an immediate reaction from me, "Yep the site is never gonna be the same again." And I was right. The only other time I had a similar reaction was sVs being banned for catelogueing the pedophile posts with the users that made them. The moment you guys perma'd a dude for pointing out that one guy talks about hooking up with 14 year olds and another said she'd fuck her son if she had one, you stopped making bans a childish game and started letting it be really used as a tool that can be easily abused and misused. It's the difference between "Go home, you're drunk" and blacklisting them for offending softskins. Moderation in a healthy community isn't janitorial work it's peacekeeping and nurturing. There's nothing nuturing about treating someone like a lost cause, even if sometimes that's the only thing to do
