Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

So (at least for me) if a PM from a member is going to result in me visiting the banlist editor for a longer ban? Someone REALLY made a bad appeal and I would imagine their public posting habits (which I would likely review and take into consideration as well) would warrant a ban extension or increase.
Other than that, (at least for me) I have my hands full enough with what people do on the public forums than to worry about PM's. Only exception that I can think of? Anything that would/could require law enforcement intervention.
I imagine that a ban from the forum should depend on forum activity alone, considering messages are private. When it gets to the stage where the authorities should be contacted though, i can see where a ban can be necessary.
Say someone sent a message to an employee (Achronos for example) that was offensive, but didn't reach the point where it was in any way law breaking, what would happen then? Would the reaction be similar to the one above, or would the consequences be greater when dealing with the person at the top?
Their site, their rules. I don't have any pity for someone who would intentionally poke a dog with a stick and then whine about getting bit.
I'm not inclined to speculate, since I suspect that if I do, someone will feel obligated to create an alt with no post history and "push the envelope" and see what sort of PM's it would take to get a reaction.
Seriously, if someone just read that and is thinking about it.... please, try to find another way to waste your time.
