I do not think so. In 2 of the photography forums to which I belong there is precious little tolerance for rules violations. It is one warning and any subsequent infraction renders the offender gone for good......too strict? Perhaps, but those forums are alot more civil and helpful and on topic, and almost all of the regular members help police the forum for the good of all, especially the newbies, which is hardly the case here where new posters are routinely hassled by some of the veterans here in the name of "having only a bit of fun." Telling a new member to leave because it will be one less newbie to deal with is not a way to encourage membership.

Damn I am long winded....and I apologise.
