The moderation on this forum has indeed been a little too harsh in recent months, and perhaps you can even go as far to say a bit selective in some cases. When Seven was making insulting posts towards me weeks ago, nobody really did anything about it and just let it slide. However, when Seven finally resorted to insulting Zlatan Balta, the mods started to take exception and that is when action was taken against him. It is very similar to Claire's case with Mikhail...as soon as she insulted a mod that is when she was essentially gone. Therefore, it is hard to take some of these decisions seriously.
That said, if Seven behaves himself and does not resort to insulting other posters, I think he should have another chance. I would be a hypocrit to say otherwise, so give him another chance.
And wow, this is coming from Andy, by the way.
