Reputation or lack of reputation isn't a consideration when a ban is issued. It has to do with breaking the rules. You could be a member of BHW for two days or two years. Either way, if you break the rules, you may get banned. It also depends on how serious the offense was. You might get banned for a week, a year or forever. It all depends . . .
Also, we do not ban people because we like them or dislike them, or because they are nice guys or idiots. Again, it has to do with the seriousness of the offense. There have been several times when I have had to ban someone that I actually personally liked. But as moderators and administrators, we cannot show favoritism. I don't think any of us enjoy banning anyone, but we have to do it sometimes, whether we want to or not.
