How much simpler, clearer and less disruptive things would be if there were a thread that made a clear and simple statement of all bans. I.e.:
1. Poster X was issued a 7 day ban for posting obscene language.
2. Poster Z was issued a 30 day ban for personally insulting poster Y in Community.
3. Posters C, D, E and F were issued 7 day bans for almost simultaneously giving negative ratings to K's birthday thread.
4. Poster P was given a lifetime ban for posting dings using another poster's handle.
etc., etc., etc.
Our current program smacks of the HOUAC, or worse. These are sad days for FT.
