Let's get one solid fact straight here, the number of members leaving is not dramatic. It is actually those members complaining and breaking the rules that are driving the members away. By posting the ridiculous crap I see in the Welcomes forum for new members, they are in turn driving our new members away.

About the suggestion of dropping warnings in favour of instant deletion. While it sounds good in theory, how do we discipline those that are continuous rule breakers? There has to be some form of punishment. It's just like murdering a person in real-life. Your actions have consequences, but we are kind, and we warn people before we place them in jail (ban them). I would like to eliminate the need for warning people, but every community has its idiots.
