Yes there is a way for support as Darthxonias said. Ive given support for downloads and such for several people who have been banned from the forum.
That's great to know! Sorry, I was unaware they had other ways to have support. This way it's fair, very good you have it like this.
And yes, I partially agree with both of you and DarthXedonias, if they were already given several chances, they should have corrected their behavior before. And I fully agree a special area of the forum could easily seem like a reward for their bad behavior.
The only problem to this issue I see is that some times, people become a**holes for a long time (from months to years), but they eventually realize it and change. It particularly has happened frequently with people using programs that add confidence, such as AM and DMSI, before the humbleness balanced their ego. It even happened to Shannon himself in the past, before he solved it with programming that's good enough for him (and most others). Maybe the problem comes with people whose ego is too out of balance, and their confidence might be increased too fast before the balancing has enough time to happen. Only Shannon will know whether this is possible.
And anyway, it's your forum, your rules. I don't and won't have these issues. But I miss a few good members that turned bad before being banned, who didn't solve fast enough their rudeness within. In particular, the guy who introduced me to Indigo MindLabs.
