    Blog Banning

    Aside from spam, have you ever banned a person or a comment from your blog? If you have, what did the person or comment do to get banned?

    Banned for Disliking them?

    Have you ever banned someone from your forum simply because you didn't like them? They didn't do anything wrong on your forum and they're not causing trouble -- you just don't like them and don't want them on your forum. So, you banned them. Is this wrong of a forum admin to do or should we be...

    Post-Ban

    After banning a member from your forum (for whatever reason), is that usually the end of it? Do you ever have to deal with other members demanding to know what happened? Do you tell them what happened? Does the banned member ever try to get back into the forum? Do you have an appeal process...

    Do banned members get a banned banner under their name on your forum or a strikethrough their username on profile/post display? Do you think it's a good idea to show that in public or should that member's information be hidden completely from the public and only visible to staff? I ask because...

    Can all staff ban members of your forum?

    Do you allow all staff to make banning decisions? If yes, has it ever been abused? If no, what is your procedure?

    Main Ban Reason

    What's the main reason why you ban members? I'm going to guess it's spamming. So, what's the main reason you ban members aside from spamming? :D

    Announcing Forum Bans

    I've seen some forums announce forum bans. Basically, when a member gets banned, a thread is made explaining that "so and so" was banned for "such and such." How do you feel about this practice? If you agree with it or do it, why do you do it? Explain why if you don't agree with it!

    Would you ban a popular member?

    Scenario: Let's say you have a member who posts a lot, is popular, and gets a lot of engagement on your forum. But they're a bully and they treat a lot of new people like complete and utter crap. You've asked them not to do it and they do it anyways. Would you ban or discipline them in some way...
