So why is a ban a worthy punishment for a new user? Hell, the way some long term users act, I question whether they've read the rules. So why are we issuing all these new rules to try and ban newer users when the one's causing the most problems and getting away with it are some of our older users?

If we're going to be this petty, we might as well ban every user here for various reasons as we've all broken the rules. '''I never said a ban is a worthy punishment. In fact, I've said several times in this thread that a ban is too harsh. We should have a different punishment, something infinitely less harsh.'''

I do agree with you though. I and a lot of other older users have caused drama in the past, as well as the present, and definitely will in the future.

As for the whole thing about rules, I do agree. Why do we have rules if they're only ever enforced if it's a new user (which is only when they're failing to read the rules by voting, and even then there is no punishment for breaking that rule) or someone the wiki near-unanimously dislikes (or associated with one of those users) that happens to be breaking them? Everyone else gets off scot-free. It's inconsistent.

Exactly. Why are we focussing on rules aimed at newer users and oushing new one's out when we can't even enforce the ones we have. I dont think we should consider passing new rules until we can enforce the ones we currently have.

Also, I thought I read a ban should be considered in the forum awhile ago, so that's my bad. My intention when I created this thread was to find a way to better enforce the current voting rules. I thought it was obvious, but I didn't state this before, so that definitely created some confusion. My bad.
