Re: VonGacy active again

I was going to say this.

Yeah, it would be great if truly horrendous people could be banned because of offsite behavior, but it would be too easily abused.

Screenshots can be faked, and staff on FR can't access the behind the scenes information on sites like tumblr or twitter to see if someone faked/edited the information before taking the screenshot.

Sadly, I do believe that there absolutely would be some people (hopefully only a handful, but you never know) who WOULD fake 'evidence' against people they didn't like, just to get them banned, were this allowed. Look at how some people go through and add others to pinglists knowing it will cause those people anxiety or whatever, just because they disagreed on a forum thread. Look at some of the SMR posts about people who have 'rules' that others don't like (not rules about selling dragons, but 'rules' about asking people to not contact them)
