William,

Thanks for posting your message concerning posting suspensions (and suspension records) publicly. Part of me agrees that it would be helpful to highlight bad behavior as a warning to other users and as a deterrent. However, I have to weigh this against the belief that (a) the suspension itself is punishment and (b) ever-increasing penalties are a deterrent.

While we're thinking about this, I'd appreciate comments from other members of the community.

Also, what if you were suspended for a post or posts that went a little bit too far... would you want your name on a thread? How long would it be fair to leave it there?

John
