I am a Wiz in Photoshop, it would not be that hard for me to make fake photo
copy ID's for everyone. Unless you go through big background checks which can
also be abused then I say what is the point.

There is nothing finacial to gain from this group, so there is no great reason
to be so strick, warning and banning people is fine, and I think if there is a
new name that appears and writes something bad or offensive say within two weeks
of joining, then I say get rid of tha name right away. Because most likely it is
a banned user just re-offending, and if its not, then tough, they should not
have acted so bad in the first place in that short of time.

Even when Sean got booted, I seen some names make replies that posted once and
never heard from them again. So maybe sean was replying to his own banning ?

Because around the time he left, some new names popped up, and have never
surfaced again.
