I'm all in favor of punishments for blatant TOS violations. I'm wondering, though, if it wouldn't be more useful to let folks know who is serving a punishment and why. This would serve the dual purpose of letting folks know why folks have disappeared and might provide some guidance to others as to where the line is and when it has been crossed. IMHO, these goals far outweigh any potential embarrassment to the offender, especially since that potential embarrassment might serve as a deterrent to future transgressions. And when the "time out" is permanent, then where is the harm?</font>
I agree completely, and in fact have argued this point in the past. However, Randy, at least at that time, took the opposite position. http://www.flyertalk.com/pasttalk/ft...ML/000330.html
