I've been a member here since 2003. I've seen people get banned, unbanned, perma-banned, or just generally shunned by the forum community.
I've never had an issue with a mod or their decisions on this site, new or old.
They've let some of the outrageous ones stick around because they were also productive and (sometimes) massively entertaining and even useful at times. (Dloc and alpentalik come to mind. Both now inactive I believe.)
Bottom line:
You want universal standards. You're never getting them.
You want to be treated with respect. Act with respect.
