Senior Members sometimes go kittywompus and get banned. Sometimes they do it on purpose (consciously or unconsciously) because they want to stop being addicted to coming on here. One senior member even explicitly asked to be banned so his addiction would be stopped. At other times, they just self-destruct in a public manner. That's unfortunate, but it does happen.

However, I don't think that the rate of senior members being banned is increasing at all. I know we have a lot more senior members now then a year ago, or two years ago when the forum was just started. Therefore, you have more opportunities to view a banned member's older posts then you did a year or two ago.

I agree with Caren, just because this is a personal development forum, doesn't mean everyone can restrain themselves from engaging in trollish behavior or personal insult behavior (which is pretty much why senior members tend to get banned). Furthermore, this is a forum with a very high standards. So some behavior that some members may engage in other forums would tend to result in them being banned here.
