I do agree that both boo boo's 1-month band, and this CC ban, were seemingly much too harsh for the offenses committed. At least from my perspective. boo boo essentially got banned for having a bad day in the shoutbox, his ban was given out of haste IMO.

Again, it's not the specific event that causes these things. It's the culmination of a sh
it load of specific events that clearly demonstrate a user is not willing to play by the rules.
The thing people need to remember is the general MB population is not going to have the full story about what gets moderated most of the time, nor is it our job to have a sit-down with the members of this site to vote on how we should moderate it. So naturally, the result is going to be that the members see a punishment for which they only see part of the offense. As a result, you're going to have a skewed perspective of it.
While no one is asking you to not have your own opinion about it, we do ask that you'll take into account the fact that we make decisions based on a lot more information than most are privy to, individually. I would hope that this fact agrees between us all that the moderators are a little more qualified to make the judgments, based on evidence.
