Bans Should be a Last Resort [Lock Requested]

[GeneralGuy]

I agree with you 100%, SonicProject. If we want this community to grow, we have to be more accepting and welcoming of people. I mean, sure, you can ban everyone that you don't like or because of something that offends you, but that's just running away from the problem instead of addressing it head-on, and sends the message that the administration can't deal with it. :| Additionally, it's no secret that factions of the MFGG moderation have abused their power in the past, suspending people for trivial reasons. At this early stage of our fractured community (which I'm desperately trying to piece back together), banning people is not a solution. Rehabilitation through counseling is far better and in the best interest of MFGG.
