No, I don't see any reason to close the thread. I want users to feel comfortable bringing up whatever issues they have. If they're comfortable doing it with an admin directly, which is the ideal, that's great. But if not, and they're comfortable doing it in a more public forum, like here, that's great too. I don't know about a problem unless I'm told, and this thread is helping with that. If people have issues with the rules or getting banned, they have a right to complain about it. On the flip side, I can't, we can't, please everyone all the time. And if I get branded harsh or strict or a bitch or a hardass in the process, that's fine. As long as I'm striving to make this a better place, striving to uphold the rules fairly, that's fine. There's always a few people who have issues with the admins anywhere. It's the nature of being an admin.

That being said, I'm looking at the policies so I can revise them to let it be known that disrespectful statements aren't tolerated in any form, even if they are removed from their originating post.
