Can the mods and even laffen expound on this futher
What are the main causes for the reason and how's the 'time-table' for such offense
why should they tell anybody else why a member is banned??? Not our business imho.

But (I know its not good to start with a but) if we were to know why people get banned then we can all see the line not to cross. It's mostly common sense (the greatest oxymoron of them all IMO) but sadly it's not in abundance.
What is the procedue?
Do you get PM'd warnings?
Do you just find you IP blocked?
3 stikes and you're out?
Or as I suspect it's all of the above depending on the circumstance.

yeah..... an idea of what you shoulddo not to get banned can be found in the
FORUM RULES
as for knowing why anybody else got banned....... it's nobody's concern imho..... this is not a public sin bin.

well... mince... I don't care. But people getting banned because they didn't know posting racist comments (for example) is not tolerated........ that's their problem isn't it?
MY point is..... if anybody wants to know what the ules are they can be found. Period. Not reading them is not an excuse for bad behaviour now is it?
And if anybody gets banned.... then I'm sure Team Esato has a good reason. And I'm sure this reason is nobody's business but that of Team Esato and the actual banned member.

Excellent example - did @axxxr get a 'word' or the thread disappear showing the cars crashing whilst attempting to 'drift'?
The comments below had some of the most racist comments I've ever had the misfortune of reading and would have preferred not to

100% agree and I rely on my common sense as I do not have time to look for or read the rules (had a quick look whilst waiting on your reply for the 1st time and could not find anything(did not use search))

Why don't Team Esato post the banned list and reason or is that not the done thing on Forums?
Please don't get me wrong I'm just trying to understand what goes on and why

well I don't know why but here's my view anyway.
WE do not need to klnow why any member got banned for a simple reason of privacy. But also because people may come back after a while (unbanned) and it would probably not serve their best interest as a 'born-again' member if everybody knew their past mistakes and could confront them again and again and again about it. Or worse: provoke them into getting themselves banned again. Or forever answering their posts by 'well you were banned so whatever you say has gotta be wrong anyway' I can see it now
As of lately, esato attitude seems more and more like a (lynch) mob to me. I would certainly not put the above beyond the larger part of the member group.
It's not our business.... there is no 'hall of shame' here (thank god) and I really don't understand this perverted interest in 'who's been banned for what' by certain members.
We have moderators and admin. They decide. On their criteria. They don't answer to us, we answer to them. They make the rules, we follow. And if we don't, we get banned eventually. That is all there is to it imho.
Would you really want everybody to know if you were given a 3 week cooling off for whatever reason???
Just think about that for a minute.
[edit] Oh yeah... for those interested:

@vlammetje: nice link!
I dont think that peoples dirty laundry should be aired, if they have done wrong the important thing is that they themselves know why, and, according to @kimcheeboi, he doesnt. He wants to know, which is a good thing, but maybe he shouldnt be getting others involved by pm'ing them. Why doesnt he e-mail a moderator, i'm sure they wold be happy to explain the error of his ways.
