Yes… If situation doesn’t call for quick action, we always ask inside staff group for second opinion.
Also first choice should be short time ban (1 - 7 days), not permanent one.
I’m sorry if you were offended/annoyed by some of our actions, we always try to find peaceful ways to resolve conflicts. There were only few permanent bans during last 3 years. Not more than 5 I think (not counting spammers with few posts)…
