Devs: Do you have plans to reset the forums in the future?

[Alerith]

I'm quite certain that you are not a perfect person. I'm almost sure that you've done something wrong at least once in your life if not more than that. And I'm sure you was giving a chance to reform. If not then you are God almighty, NOT.

Of course people make mistakes. Everyone does. And everyone should be expected to pay for those mistakes. What mistakes I have made in life, I have faced the consequences for. Not a single one of them were so monumental that I had to make life reforms for.

See, there's this thing called integrity. If you have it, you're going to deal with problems and punishments a lot better. If you don't, you're going to try and justify how the world was unfair to you and that you don't really deserve the punishment or how it shouldn't have been as "harsh".

SE should give every paying customer a chance to reflect there likes or dislikes about their second chance that they are asking us to give them. If they don't reform then ban them again, that's what the moderators are for.

That defeats the purpose of being banned. You're either banned or you're suspended. The people who were banned were banned for a reason. To lift that ban just because is completely undermining the integrity of a ban to begin with.

You're basically saying it would be ok to release murderers and rapists from jail because they have learned their lesson and should be given a second chance, with absolutely no evidence to support this, other than "It's the right thing to do and they can be monitored when they get out.". This is silly, because even though someone can be monitored, that doesn't immediately prevent them from action. It merely allows you to know when a new infraction takes place.

Not to mention, people are banned for a reason.. I don't care how saintlike the OP feels her brother is. He got banned for a reason. A purpose exists behind his punishment, as with everyone else who has been banned.

Honestly, the mods on this forum are extremely tolerant of a lot of bull. For him or anyone else to get banned, it isn't just some arbitrary decision to mess with someone. They messed up on a large enough level to warrant getting a permanent ban. Permanent.

To take it a step further:

Were I to ever, EVER, do anything that warranted a permanent banning, I would never expect that to be lifted. If I deserve it, there is no argument with it, so I apply the same strict standards to myself as well.
