Ah, in that case, I agree entirely.

Breaking the rules in the forum does not equal breaking the rules in Live Chat. They are separate privileges entirely, which is why there is not cross-over. There are several people who have broken the rules in live chat but never in the forum, and vice-versa.

But what about rules like Bigotry or flaming? If a person is inclined and has reached the level of a permaban, shouldn't it be assumed if now their only vice to communicate is the LC then wouldn't it be likely for them to break rules in the chat?

Who said this had to be fair?

Ban anywhere should equal ban everywhere.

From what I've seen, if someone gets banned for violating the rules in live chat or the forum, they're always given a shorter leash in the other. But that doesn't equal an immediate banning.

t-o-m was banned a while ago in the forums, but hasn't caused too much trouble in live chat and hence has had his privileges there remain. Banned users can't access profiles or PMs, I'm more of the opinion they should be given this right.
