I don't believe that forum members elect moderators to ban >people just for fun. I agree with you completely about the moderators. I would never expect any moderator to act irresponsibly. They have always been good guys as long as I've been a member here. The extreme nature of banning people just for fun was only to make a point that this isn't a place where "equal rights" are relevant (which he was implying). As far as the moderators banning people, I'm not sure. I seem to remember Mike Byrne saying that he had to submit a request to the people who run the forum (Steve?), and that they were the ones that had to do a permenant ban. I'm not sure if this is correct though. I guess if they want us to know exactly how it all works and who has what powers, they can tell us :)
