My policy re: warnings/bannings (doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of other admins):
I give a warning. If the warned person cops an attitude, that's the only warning they get. Next step is banned for a month.
(A month, for the purposes of this policy, is defined as 30 days, with lifting of the ban around the same general time as the ban was initiated, within limitations of my schedule; those unbanned will be e-mailed a notice via the address they registered with. If the address bounces or isn't accurate, tough shit. Keep your f*cking addresses updated.)
If the warned person
doesn't cop an attitude, and appears to be reasonable, if there's another minor infraction, they get one more warning, with a note that the next step is banned for a month. If the second 'offense' shows, to me, that the warned person was just blowing smoke in reply to the first warning, they get banned for a month, with no further warning.
If one who's been put on a temporary ban tries to evade the ban, by registering under another name/address, and I see it (whether by myself or via notification from a CZer, at which point I investigate myself), they're permanently banned.
Period.
Any offenses of the same general nature as the reason for a temporary ban, after the temp ban is lifted, are grounds for immediate permanent banning, without any warning.
For those who have questions, at any time, I can be reached by e-mail(1), ICQ(2), or IRC(3), but don't abuse it(4).

<LI> If my radparker.com address happens to bounce, I can also be reached at dannp5 (at) juno.com (fix the obvious), though I don't check that mailbox as often.
<LI> My ICQ number is in my profile, and also in the CIC ICQ number list. I accept messages from all, but require authorization to be added to others' contact lists.
<LI> Generally, I can be found there under the nick of ^Death_ , though it can be otherwise; if you don't see "Death" somewhere in the nick list, look for names with ^ and _ at the beginning and end, respectively.
<LI> "Abuse," in this case, refers to chain letters or other messages forwarded out the yin-yang, spamming for a referral service like AllAdvantage and its competitors, flaming, or mailbombs. Spam and mailbombs sent to me will be reported to your provider(s) for the purpose of getting your account(s) nuked.
</OL>
Have a nice day.
