I realize that you'll be quick to point out how every should be dealt with equally under the Jazzfanz code of conduct" or whatever, but to me banning one of the most respected posters, a poster who likely has kept many visitors glued to the forum to begin with, over something like harrassing people in rep comments seems awfully tedious to me. Again, I am not a moderator so I do not know how many times (if, at all) Trout was warned specifically for harrassing other posters, but seeing as he, along with other senior posters contrinbutes so much to the health of this place, I think that the moderators should definitely be more lenient. Now you can shoo away my comments as naive, or unrealistic but trust me; if you all resort to just ridding the place of great posters, the forum will suffer. So what should be done? Not my decision.
