Being a new member, and perhaps due to my own personality, I simply do not trust the administration to be fair without some form of public oversight as to its actions.

However, **SlackerInc** had eight previous warnings, including for trolling, being a jerk, insults, and failure to follow a moderator’s instructions. He actually should have been suspended last year, when he had four warnings within only a few months. > > Some months ago I did have an extended exchange with him by PM, discussing some of his behavioral problems.

> [@](#): > > Boy would I love to read that Just read his responses in his Pit thread. That will give you a pretty good sense. Over and over explaining how smart he is, without the slightest sense or acknowledgement that he might want to change his behavior.
