It's not because we missed something. The chat board is a separate application which does not tie in with the database of members for FT, which is why those members can use chat. If we can can ever make this integrated, we will. For the most part, those banned are not that criminal, they simply have not understood I and many other members are not interested in their inability to play well with others. It's so simple - enjoy the topics and information, and enjoy those members you find compatible to your lifestyle. Ignore all others.
