>>I believe equipping moderators with the option to remove a post in particular would be much more desirable. ... Banning a member should only be an option of the Site Administrator, after consideration of repeated violations of the Terms of Use. That's iHub's format. SI's is different and there is no consideration being given to changing it. At least, not on the heritage message boards. >>Likewise, I would suggest including in the "justification requirement", Harassment as a lesser violation of "Personal Attack". That's just a finer (subjective) distinction that would result in "I banned him because he is harassing me on [insert site]'s boards." We don't need to overcomplicate it; our position on the Investment forum boards is that inclusion is better than exclusion, and that bans should be the result of disruptive behavior, not pettiness and not activities outside the confines of SI.
