Don't really know the specifics about either banning.... Not sure why Wufongtan would be banned, dude was a prick and enjoyed flexing his 'debating' muscles, but he was rarely overly offensive in my, all be it limited, experiance. Lets be honest, for a small community, we have our fair share of busy bodies, ego-maniacs and twats.
Mods put in countless hours of work into the forums that they are part of and its usually unpaid. Sometimes they make bad calls, sometimes they get things wrong and admit it, other times they hide behind a carefully woven collage of bullshit. They dont all have law degrees and they will make mistakes, most mods are harmless and do a great job, others are petty and vindictive.
Do we need a panel of people to make sure the mods are doing a good job or help them make decisions on issues that arise? I don't think so. I would be much more comfortable having a regular mod, say someone like NE, decide my fate, if I ever stepped out of line, than be feed to the wolves...
