I can see how the constant harsh punishments, while effective in a hammering-it-into-your-head kind of way, are driving off new users. I can see how admins get sick of putting up with all the new users' bullshit (as I am one on Trollpasta Wiki), but we have to remember: It's not about the admins. It's about the users.

Thank you for helping me realize this, even if I do disagree with some of your other points. Like Moose said below me, we should practice being more welcoming to new users rather than going "lol u suck n00bs" so that people will be more willing to come back while at the same time getting it through to them that they have to follow the rules.
