Apparently, the matter is currently under review:

Thanks for the support and it really does make me proud of the volunteer efforts of Craig and others.
As for other TOS violations, let's remember, when the odds are greater, there is still one little old one arm paperhanger here. When the odds are better (less people involved) i can handle that. When the odds get out of hand, it is reasonable it takes much longer to resolve. I don't want to get into jusy tossing people out - i still try and reason, explain and solicit their cooperation. Also, it takes a little time to really look at each violation to see if this is a simple moment of frustration or a pattern. For those that i've had to handle, most (except one) have handled it well. In fact Oz and CameraGuy are still my faves. Both were extrememly dissapointed but they didn't resort to name calling and all else once the message was clear. I'll keep working on all this, but remember, i only really have about 5 minutes a day to deal with this. Pause to think how i'm doing with just that 5 minutes?</font>

Thanks very much, as always, Randy!
"Folks, we have something rare and good going on here. Let's try and keep it that way."
FWIW, IMHO, from my limited sense of what has lead to a possibly decreasing level of participation of "prominent" FT'ers of the past, it has been the increasing flames, bitterness and acrimony that causes it.
As I'd noted previously, politely offering a few suggestions to consider prior to criticizing other FT'ers:
