I think your points for >temporary suspension sound logical but I somehow think it was a bad idea to >post it like this . Good point, and I should have explained this clearly in the original post. I believe Hans Gerber's situation is special because of the amount of feedback we got about him and the way we dealt with him. Many people were interested in what happened to Hans. It took us a long time to do anything about him. My post was meant as sort of a public-interest apology. Rest assured, I don't make a post every time the moderators decide on something. :) -Tom
