How many people have you banned?

Ja sa bong
Banning forum members is part of what goes on in forum management. There will always be members who wouldn't care about following the forum rules and regulations. They are just there to cause many problems to make the forum unbearable for others to use it.

How many of such members have you had? Did you end up banning all of them or were you able to make them change their ways?
 
So far, I have only banned one member on DH, if I can even call them a member. Their behaviour was bot-like and they posted a very strange propaganda message, which was also deleted. As for banning an actual person, not a suspected bot, I think a ban would be a last resort. It’s dependant on a lot of factors and each case varies.

There are members that I've banned on my forum. The thing is that they are spammers and they never want to learn how to stick to the rules of the group. That is where I always lose it and end up banning them. If a new user make an unintentional mistake, I can easily send a pm to correct them, but once they continue, I will have no option than to ban them.

I would never be against banning of forum members who doesn't have any regards for the forum rules and regulations. The reason why forums have rules and regulations is for the community space to be conducive for everyone to partake in what they like to discuss on. If a forum member wants to make that uncomfortable for others, it's right to ban him or her.
 
I've only banned two members out of 1,500 members on my board, both of whom came to the board to post a spam advertisement and then left.
If you are a free advertisement section you could move the thread to the section of advertisement and space banning the user instead. Moreover, if the member posts a reply to a thread you could split the thread discussion to a new subject. The last part, if user do this in multiple threads then I issue permanent ban.

There are still users on the website that are posting few words comments and these are similar and looks spammy
