Infractions Making Mods Soft

There are a lot of things that used to be worthy of a perma-ban that happen quite regularly (being an ass in H/A, for example) now due to the fact that the user knows that they can get away with it at least once.
If that's intentional, it's not a problem, exactly. If we wanted people to not be douchebags, it kind of is. I'm assuming that this has been addressed in the mod forum, but it's kind of obnoxious to run into shit like this:

Thank god, because all those broken spoilers was just a terrible terrible mess.
It perhaps just needs a bit of fine-tuning, that's all.
That said, I have to agree with Doc. Y'all have been unusually nice to repeat offenders recently.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I uh... have nothing else to contribute really. I just go right for the report button whenever something annoys me enough and more often than not that makes it vanish without need for infraction or what-have-you.
And then nobody says or does anything, including any mods who happen to be around... I dunno, maybe they're harmless comments and by some bizarre confluence of events I just happen to always be in an overly touchy mood whenever I see one.

uh, 3.
Having a way to systematicially track these dicks has really helped out D&D in particular.
Banned 2 times, came back after he could post again and reeled in enough infractions to be banned again within 24 hours. I think most of us D&D'ers only noticed this is because he does most of his asshattery in the [chat]. :P
Anyway, I don't think the mods have become weak or anything, but I do get the feeling that there are less temp-bans being handed out as of late. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. <_<>_>
oh since ramius became admin
so that's how it is
Well, I would include your tenure as El Presidente in that. EG: All the mods / admins since Ramius.
How was Fawkes a dick?
1) Ramius has always been an admin so you're covered.
2) You're no longer a mod, so you're not covered.
PARADOX
Not doing this here. Only warning.
Being jailed should expose all spoilers to you. THAT would be punishment.

i second that.
Is there an airlock we can jettison them out of?
I get what you're saying, Tube.
I don't have any real experience modding or adminning, so I readily admit that I might be really fucking off in my ideas about what would work.

I don't have a report button.
From the looks of it, it seems like Obs was just such a douche in so many places, there was no possible way he was UNDER the perma-ban limit. On top of that, the moderators probably couldn't pin down every offensive post the guy made.
This is a serious forum, dude. The mods/admins generally don't like when people don't post with any sort of serious point. Just a fair warning.
I for one love the new system. It helps with guys who would tow the line. It was like they would just say "I'm not touching you!" all day, hovering their finger a half inch from your face. Now, the mods don't have to wait for them to touch you, just grab their finger and go "Stop it."
It may be a bit less harsh on some offenders, but overall I prefer this system. The assholes used to going as far as they can without crossing the line are now getting what they deserve.
Also you can not start threads or edit your posts.
Jesus fuck is that post timer a bitch when it's 2.5 minutes.
Honestly, it's working. The people who should just be banned, get banned right away, because if it's that bad, mods skip the infractions. Or, if they rack up infractions really quick, they get perma-banned right when they come back because they continue the dipshit-ness.
Except then they will never know if they fail at bbcode.
Really, it's best not to fuck with the bbcode at all.
