After seeing how suspensions divide the forum at WoV, I chose to not have one here. However, as evidenced by a discussion at WoV, there are costs to not having one and benefits with one, as follows:

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Thank you for the comments thus far.
I guess we don't have enough suspensions here to need a thread to discuss them. We can always add it later if we feel it necessary. I'm leaning in favor of making the list. Who will have the dishonor of getting the first public suspension? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| fleaswatter Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 3 Posts: 1087 | How about a "statute of limitations" for suspensions for offenses? If a member was not suspended within ---days?, ----weeks?, ---months?, etc, of a post, no suspension will be given. Let's go Brandon |

| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | I'm a strong NO, but a more biased opinion you could not obtain. Of the irritating parts of this position, that list is solidly #1, or at least the lengthy tome of WoV's is. There's nothing I hate more about the site than navigating and editing that bleeding list lol. Objectively, one place we're failing hard is length of suspension. A list I suppose would help with that, but if a list gets nixed, we should still pursue improvement in that area. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4961 | I say no to the suspension list. Maybe just send the person a private message letting them know they are suspended. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
