i'm curious if it'd be possible to have a 'banlog' to show who gets banned, for how long, and for what the basic offense was. it should obviously be a thread that's locked, but it'd be nice to know why people get b& without having to ask around and hide from the mods while doing it. kinda like the police blotter, not only is it fun to read what stupid things people do but it's also a deterrent of sorts.

of course, there's lots of cons, too, but i think it'd be interesting.

People will try to get banned just to get on the banlog.

And it's not really anyone's business why a person gets banned.

Yep. No need. :-D

One could argue that it could act as sort of a check and balance regarding mod and admin actions.

/in before "it's a privte site", "suck it up", etc...

Agreed; this is one of those suggestions that does seem like a perfectly fine idea until you think about it for a couple minutes and play it out a bit...
