I wanted to know if an official post could be made stating why certain members have been banned, and what posts they made for the reason behind the banning. It would be beneficial for new/old members to see what examples of improper posting is on the board, since it seems that the rules are bent to the whims of the owners/moderators.

I've seen all of these rules violated time and time again on the board without punishment, so understanding where the boundaries are seems to have been converted into fuzzy logic. Maybe by clarifying the rules and/or making them more cogent, or better yet declaring a "Zero Tolerance" policy, would be advantageous for the owners and the members.
This is the owners board - that is a fact. They govern what goes on, and that is understood, but since the board is about "The Ron and Fez Radio Show", which itself has topics and discussions that if they were placed on the message board, would be banned from the message board. This doesn't make sense. Please clarify.
I've always enjoyed "Man With Desk next To Al Dukes" posts, even if the post was misinformed or a little rude. So what? Is everyone THAT sensitive about being insulted or abused? When was he banned, Why did it happen, and What did he post in order to be banned from the board?
