6. Bannings
All decisions regarding disciplinary actions up to and including banishment from the group are discussed thoroughly among the moderators before any decision is made. None of the moderators take it upon themselves to discipline a member of the group. Disciplinary actions include, but are not limited to: warnings, return to moderated status, banishment from the group, and ETERNAL DAMNATION. Except for exceptional circumstances -- such as emergencies where other moderators are out of contact -- all bannings and moderations are voted on.
