Why bother having a comment section if you ban five of the 15 people using it? Perhaps a page on what is expected from commenters concerning their behavior would benefit all involved instead of banning after-the-fact.
Moderator's Note: Banning only occurs after multiple warnings have been issued and the commenter continues non-compliance. If you feel banning occurred in error, please email admin@cmcherald.com for assistance. There is such a page, which is listed when submitting a spout. You may access it here: https://goo.gl/fWWR42.
