Petition Regarding Banned Members

Doug, we all respect you and the team of DS staff. Many of us believe that DS should change the policy of banning a member for life. Many of us don't think it is right or fair. People make mistakes, we're all human. They should be given another chance. DS is here for us members, right? We collectively believe that our voice should count for something, it should matter what we wish for and agree upon regarding DS, assuming it is not harmful or destructive to the community. This petition is submitted with all due respect to you and your staff.

The purpose of this post is to allow DS members to stand up and be heard. We collectively petition you and your staff to reconsider your policy of banning a member for life.

Fellow members, if you wish, please participate in this post by simply typing in a yes or a no. Please, please, please don't use this post for discussion or debate. (That will only confuse the issue and make it hard for DS to count the votes.) Just yes or no. I want DS staff to be able to easily count the votes at the end of this post. A yes or no will automatically bump the post. Please only "vote" once. My idea is to let this run for one week, then send it to Doug.

Should members that have been banned be allowed back to DS?


Please type in your "YES" or "NO."

" Are we talking about DS as a whole or just depression?
We are not "in sound mind" does it apply to people who are?
I still believe that DS should take every complaint and look into it much more carefully before banning anyone.
If we don't even know who may have made a complaint about us, how do we appeal?
How do we fight our case?
Are we not innocent until proven guilty? "

" It would seem not Dearest. That's the thing. All this could be avoided if they would only look into reports. That's it. Hell they could hire someone to do it. Hire me, I'll do it. Put me on the payroll lol. "

" I a in agreement with pretty much everyone and with Gothic in particular.I haven't been on here long, but feel that a ban for life without a report being investigated and analyzed is not right. I think that folks who are NOT pedophiles, perverts, or consistently posting debasing content, than they should be allowed to remain on. "
