Old forums usually had a system where you only got banned if you got a certain number of warnings within a certain time period. That usually worked well.

People are incredibly ban happy on Reddit, I got banned from the JimmyDore sub Reddit despite never visiting it, I don’t even know who Jimmy Dore is.

The Skripal thing? No amount of tanks or missiles can stop espionage.

I’ve volunteered for a few charity shops (UK version of a thrift store) in the past, the weirdest thing was the trash people would “donate”, like used diapers.
