There has been a lot of good ideas here and I agree, it's a tough call. One thing I would like to suggest, and I have seen it happen, is if someone is about to get banned, give them a warning. They may really not know what they did or said was over the line. And if it's a group of people having some fun and a mod having a bad day or taking what is being said in the wrong way, then we can explain and/or defend our actions

Indeed, since those of us who have been previously banned with no explanation should be at least given advice that it might be down to our mere presence or persistence in a debate since we do not fire off personal derogatory remarks or defamation in any shape or form (unless we're clearly, obviously joking).
I wonder if someone can be banned purely through mods bowing to pressure in light of complaints received through PM? If so, are the complaints justified... or possibly overreaction/misinterpretation?
Censorship won't do, especially in a horror film website.
ISP bans would seem the logical option to stop the trouble returning.
And I agree anyone christened 'Roderick' just
has to be an asshole.
:D
