Just so that we are clear:
To have a strong disagreement with someone is not a valid reason to ban this person.
The last thing I want for this forum is to be an echo chamber.
Over the last five years, if I had to ban everybody I had a strong disagreement with, I would certainly have banned Patron. But I would also have banned numerous other people, many of whom are, funnily enough, in favor of banning Patron. There is just no way that everybody will agree with everybody all the time, and strong (and sometimes recurring) disagreements are bound to happen.
So here is the current list of criteria that are worthy of a ban:
- Repeated breaches to the new Moderation Policy
- Spamming
- Illegal behavior (crime, apology of crime, etc)
- Repeated insults and similar incivilities
