Message board banning - Does it serve a valuable purpose?

[ClusterF@#$]

My impression of this place is that Sean learned a lot about what not to do from his experience at oa.com... there is much less flaming here, much less etiquette restrictions, less cliquey and this place generally seems to be a lot more lax.

Probably a lot has to do with the fact that O and A are going to pull a wider audience, and increase the chances of bringing douchebags around, so there really has to be more policing there..... but I just get a better feeling around here. I am surrounded by people who already know the rules, the ettiquete, and since we already know eachother and because of the invitation factor, there is a lot less bashing... and I don't think we see a lot of instances of people who need to be abolished.

This place definitely incorporated all the good things of oa.com and evaluated the bad in terms of how to do things better.

Like I said... just an impression. I don't want to speak for Sean and all the mods if that was not the intent, that's just the feeling I get by being here.
