As some of you may have realized, we have had to ban a few people since the site became open to the public. To some people, it will be obvious why we have banned someone, while to others, it may not be so obvious.

In general, if someone's behavior disrupts the peace of the community or causes other members to become uncomfortable with participating in the community, that person will be removed from the community, even if some individuals may not have had an issue with him/her.

In these instances, especially if the person in question contributed reviews or screenshots to the site, we take special care to make sure that we have no other option. However, no matter how much a person might contribute to the site, we cannot allow one person to disrupt other members' experiences with our community.

If you have any questions regarding the specifics of why a particular member was banned from the forum, please contact myself or Tom Henrik, and we will discuss the matter with you to the best of our ability. For purposes of discretion, we obviously cannot reveal the identities of active members who may have been involved in these instances (outside of public occurances), but we can give a general synopsis of the situation that led to the ban. Please do not make an issue of these occurances publically, as it does not help the situation on any side of it.
