He was making a habit of making very crude, sexual comments and jokes around the forum. He may believe that people were taking things too seriously, you may believe that people were taking things too seriously but the fact is some people WERE offended or made to feel uncomfortable because of his behaviour and therefore he was asked to cool it down. I dont think thats too unreasonable, do you?

He was warned three or four times by three different mods at least to calm down and that his behaviour was unacceptable, including just a day before he was banned, and his response is to make yet another sexual remark, this time to a sixteen year old girl? He obviously feels it was made in good humour or something or that we are taking too seriously but given her age, the fact he does not know her well (or i assume) and the fact he was warned about this exact kind of thing numerous times already warrants his ban, in my opinion.

Every ban around here seems to result in a backlash now, but please keep in mind that the chances are you don't know the full story. Nobody is banned without reason. Plus he's only gone for a couple of weeks!

Exactly. And if anyone is worried about being able to freely speak your mind around the forum, please don't be. If you do something that isn't appropriate, one of the mods will warn you. Even if you do it again, we will still just warn you. Just know around the 3rd or 4th warnings...a temp ban will be considered. Believe it or not, we have a LOT of patience. You guys just don't see the inner-workings, you only see the end result.

If Dirty comes back and falls into his old ways, we will warn him AGAIN. We will keep warning him until it is obvious he still hasn't learned, at which point a longer ban is in order. We don't take bannings lightly.
