Currently planned and subject to change:

- Tiered limits on how log bans can be placed.
- Self-expiring.
- No [re-]ban until user posts [again].
- Reasonable basis for the ban. (For example, being negative on a stock is not reasonable basis unless the board is titled "For Longs Only" or somesuch.)

Not to worry, though; the Politics and quite likely Coffee Shop boards will probably be exempted from the "enhancements".

Relax isn't really the correct term; reduce would be more appropriate. There are simply too many bans of members who post contrary opinions or questions on investment boards which are titled to be for open discussion of the stock.

It is perfectly acceptable if a moderator wants to style a board for positive (or negative) content only. Then it would be reasonable to ban someone for consistent contrary posts as being off-topic. However; other users and readers of the board would know from the title that the purpose of the board is for cheerleading and not meaningful exchange of differing views.

The Coffee Shop boards don't really need the increased requirements for issuing bans, and the political forum boards by their very nature are titled and typically operated as partisan and therefore don't need it either.

Oh them changes! lma(zz)o the a@p_moderator was appointed a month and a few days after the trial started because someone else was banning people while tony is incarcerated! Imagine that, someone was using tonys account, but after it was noticed and mentioned an a@p_moderator appeared like Magic!
PSSSST I noticed itilis2003 and Raymond Duray are both banished but are still on the list.
