I think Nitescreed's record still stands as sole ban-shee from Greytalk.

Randy's not popular and his vision of Greyhawk marches with very few, but he's able to express his opinion here, should he choose to. It might be the equivalent of Thomas Scott's return to Fort Garry, but there's nothing stopping him (AFAIK). I don't recall any announcement of his ban-ishment after the last War (back about 4 years ago if memory serves).

It is of little comfort to me that it is not my end of the boat that is sinking.

Ah, just the list. I think Gary is the sole moderator of the list.

I'm the last person to usually nitpick, so while Cebrion is right about Canonfire itself, the reference to this discussion was banning just from the Greytalk list. At any rate I'm no expert on either, but do (we) canonfire admins even have access to the list?

As I do most of the work right now, I guess I am the current "senior" Canonfire! admin/moderator. I don't have many of the mad skillz that chatdemon has, but I do what I can.

So far as I know, the only people who have been banned from Canonfire! have been spammers, and those who have posted offensive or inappropriate material(usually spammers). Flamewars usually result in posts being deleted, and perhaps a PM sent to the involved parties. The admins have given people quite a bit of leeway. Perhaps this level of tolerance is due to the nature of Greyhawk fans themselves- they are a vast and varied mongrel breed, and they won't always see things eye-to-eye, let alone get along. Some people are more caustic than others, some people are overly sensitive, and yet others have the bad habit of reading things into what other people post when they shouldn't. There will eventually be disagreements and misunderstandings among posters, and that includes the admins too. This doesn't mean we can't all get along in a somewhat civil manner though. There is a limit to what will be tolerated, but I don't recall anybody having gone so far as to cross the line, such that they were banned. Despite any disagreements, most people can agree on one thing: they like to discuss Greyhawk. So far as that is the main thing going on, and nothing extraneous to that gets out of hand, then nobody will be banned.

Hoping that nobody decides they want to test my theory anytime soon,
