I'm still banned from there I can relate to this. I think I’ve come close to being banned on CN. Definitely pushed the boundaries and patience of some mods there. All forums dealing with equipment for the activity can get some really heated debates. Music Gear forums particularly bad. Makes CN look completely tame in comparison. Banning should only very rarely be for more than a few days, for cooling-off. I was a member of mental health forums back in the 90's where people occasionally were banned - that makes sense to me, because someone unable to control themselves could hurt others at their most fragile. But for astronomy? Music? Motorcycles? We all lose when somebody chooses to exclude others' useful experience. I value *everyone's* knowledge . . . and I do not like censors. (Hope this doesn't get me banned.)

Very rarely has anyone within the hobby been banned from here,, bullying would get you a ban ,, we just don't tolerate it, We are so relaxed and laid back,,, the less rules the better,, we dont have profanity filters as we treat folk like responsible adults and being responsible adults ,, should know right from wrong without us preaching it,, so we just get on with Astronomy
