Gentlemen,
We do not ban lightly, especially if someone has paid to be here. There are lines, and even if you don't see us ban someone right away, that doesn't mean that that person is not currently being dealt with.
Usually there is a process of direct communication with the person first, advising them to come to Jesus, and if not....hellish fury. In the meantime,
@trystagency is correct, we keep the rope store open so they have the option (or not) to become righteous.
After all, it's only a forum.
All of that being said, the mods are fully empowered to edit, ban, or otherwise eviscerate whomever they see fit. They are trusted 100% and always make the decisions that are in the best interest of the forum and our valuable users.
If simple bans do not work, I, as the administrator, ban their credit cards from our financial system, so they are unable to participate in ANY of our wonderful ventures

I, for one, am a staunch advocate for free speech, for everyone. Someone has to fuck up pretty bad to get a response from me.
Now, go get that pussy, you hounds!!!
