truth be told, when someone gets kicked off the forum they are not banned (top secret, don't tell anyone). If they create an account they have to agree to the terms again ( ). when someone is royally banned I keep their info and they are not welcome, not committed to memory because I'm loosing it, I think, if I remember correctly.
now very recently someone lost their account re-registered and started right back up -- harassing me again: They are permanently banned and I keep their info. alot more behind the scenes than you know but worth if for the forum.
