a mod should strive to enforce the will of the people as much as is possible while conforming to the regulations of the forum's operators. i think it's fine to yap about it if a singular incident was the cause. if it was absolutely heinous, ok, but generally speaking bans should be reserved for those who are generally perceived to be hopeless.

i didn't know he was banned, and i don't know why he was banned, but it's hard to believe he did something so bad to get instantly excommunicated. i would think if it was a 'hey man you clearly shouldn't be doing that' sort of thing, he would listen to reason and not do it any more.

The thing is that Mat's approach, and it might be Dynasty's as well, as been to use the ban as a warning. I'm hoping that's the case here, but based on what I've been told about the situation, it seems like ever banning anybody like Josh because of something he said in the WPT forum is pointless.

The WPT forum is as big an embrassament to this forum as anything, and the vast majority of the posters there offer nothing meaningful to the forums. The fact that somebody like Vince Lepore trolled that forum for months and somebody like Josh gets dropped this quick is really [censored] goofy.
