Perhaps we should call this the "Pete Rose Rule".

>I have updated our Terms & Conditions page tonight with two additional rules that are now in effect. Internet trolling and Internet flooding have been added. Some of you became aware of bann procededures that occured in the last week. While our Terms & Conditions allowed us to act upon such actions, it will be more clear now for members that this is something we will not tolerate anymore.

>For those who had concerns about the general bann procedures, well they are simple. When someone is banned, it is for life. On a rare occasion, we allowed a return. But, a bann is usually assigned to a lifetime duration. Before being banned, we send one notice to try to let the member know that this should be a peaceful environment and blah, blah, blah. Then, if the member persists in breaking the rules, it's the final procedure.

>So, basically, lets move on back to the technical aspect of this service and lets make good use of it. Everyone wishes that this is a peaceful environment. It has been most of the times so far. Time to get back to business!
