There are SOOOO many archaic rules in the TOS that we have not followed for YEARS. First and foremost, did you know that you aren't allowed to SPAM somebody? This rule is supposed to be enforced as stated in the TOS.... However, I dont think a single individual has ever been banned over it.
On the topic of contacting off-site individuals, these instances obviously need to have overwhelming evidence and need to be assessed at a case-per-case basis.
The TOS is vital as it essentially sets the framework of how moderators are able to move forward with bans. I have been calling for randomize to update it for years now, and it seems like it consistently falls on deaf ears. Without updates to the TOS or even the Moderator made "rules", all 3 of the individuals that were banned this weekend have cases as to why they should be unbanned. The only part of the TOS that could fall under this situation would be "Basic Terms 4(b) - Harassment".... which could be a stretch.
