Screw it . . .

None of these rules are set in stone. What Multipak and Wanderer both said makes a lot of sense.

I started with the three day bans because they seemed the most reasonable balance at the time.
Whatever decision gets made, I want to keep things consistent for all members.
I would like to work out some sort of rules that allow Vicious to lay into a person from time to time (it's kind of fun to watch even if it's not polite) without ending up permanently banned. I don't like singling out users and I don't like the idea of the perma-ban...

It's people like you and Vicious that make these forums interesting. If Vicious got permanently banned I really wouldn't like it and I would get genuinely mad which takes me back to the question you asked in 'Is Zagatto out of control with the bans? '. Would I stop coming here if someone like you or Vicious got permanently banned? Most likely!
So I really think you need to work on those rules of yours otherwise they're going to wreck more havoc than some of our members bad behaviour.
