Pay careful attention: If my son killed someone an hour ago, then I would treat him as though he might kill someone again. I am simply talking about how someone *posts* here and there. If they do something over there over and over, then when they do it here *one* time that is enough to convince me they will do it here over and over. IE someone unknown could come here and post something a little off-center and could be given a warning, or even two warnings, before being given a cease-or-be-kicked-out final warning. But someone that has already shown that he/she is going to misbehave by doing so somewhere else does *not* need 2-3 warnings. One warning and *out* should be the formula... >I believe you are innocent till proven guilty, and when you wrote " wouldn't you >suspect he/she would do the same over here?" well they might or might not, they >have to do the crime first before you can judge them. Never said otherwise... but I said they get *one* chance, not several. To a new person, one error might just be a mistake. To someone that has done it several times, one time is not a mistake, it is intentional. > >Most people who are shitheads in the world when they walk into a church they are >good and kind to the people around them, they act differently within a church >and never cause trouble, but if they did you would then kick them out. > >You have to give people a chance Robert. Then kick their sorry ass out into the >street once they have been warned and mess up. Where have you been? Sean was here. He was warned twice. He *still* chose to post abusive stuff. He was kicked out a while. He *still* posts abusive stuff in r.g.c.c... That is the whole point. No one says to act with no provocation, but once someone has done something wrong several times, *one* warning is enough... > >Maybe it is also got to do with different cultures, Many countries are more >strict on how people behave than others.

I mean you can make up many type of penalties for actions.

You only have to consider the exceptional cases different. IE in the US, if you are convicted of certain types of crimes 3 times, you get an automatic life sentence with no parole. Because the court is *sure* that if you did it three times, you will do it 4, or 5, or ....
