Safe to say, if you have one months-old, several-hundred-posts-old ban it's not going to make you at all susceptible to harsher mod action (maybe excepting if you've done the same exact thing that got you that old ban).
Can you c/p my mod notes in this thread?

No, they're private notes for moderators to record you history. There's quite a lot in there...

The likelihood that you'll be banned by a misstep is small considering all commandments are angled towards intentional deterrence of the quality of the forums.

Are there things recorded about users that aren't directly related to disciplinary action, e.g., user Sokalo is baller or... user Sokalo appears to be mentally unstable...user Sokalo is a sad invdividual. Or is just ban stick has been swung on xx/xx/xxxx for x reason etc.?
I haven't received any bans or warnings, and like any other human I don't want to feel unnoticed  .

I would imagine that the mod notes are related to moderating purposes. For example, a user who bitches about balance in LR threads might have a mod note alerting mods about those tendencies. Or, perhaps a PBU is given a mod note identifying his original account. I doubt that the admins would bother with tacking on "LOL THIS GUY IS NUTS" messages to people who post weirdly; usually, those result in bans rather than behind-the-back mockery.

I think so too, he's got a family to support, not to mention there's work and the ever present trolls on the forums to ban. Those factors really does eat up a lot of time for games.

We definitely do use mod notes for various potential need-to-know type items. I don't want to go into too many specifics, but it can't be used to note patterns or behaviors we've noticed, track identities, specify who may be working with a user regarding a moderation issue, etc., or just other things that we may want our peers to know about a person.

Are the amish immune to R1CH's magical powers?

Pardon if it's already been asked but I was wondering what the longest thread on TL is. This is excluding the automated banlist because 10000+ seems hard to beat.

Yeah, my computer can't play it either so I still play BW.

the nsfw pic thread was almost double that, but I think the longest might be the DotA thread

I was just wondering, does only post count matter when deciding for warnings etc..., or would a 50 serious, detailed poster be viewed better than a 1000 post person who only posts in the OP/UP (as a troll) or the funny joke threads?

As a general rule, post count doesn't mean shit. For example, CharlieMurphy had over 22,000 posts when he finally got perma-banned, and his mod notes list of warnings and bans was absolutely massive. If you're a shitty poster, having a lot of posts doesn't change the fact that you're a shitty poster. I can assure you that each and every mod and admin on the site would rather have an insightful, intelligent poster with 200 posts over two years than a 6,000 post-spamming troll who contributes next to nothing.
That being said, the Commandments do state that forum veterans are treated with more deference than newer users, and post count is part of determining veterancy. However, it's safe to assume that warnings are given out when they are merited, and post count won't change that (unless you're Rekrul).

Do the mods ever have 'round table' discussions before banning (permanently) long-standing users? Or is it just a case of allowing anyone to ban anyone for anything at any time without discussion?

Yes, every major permban is the result of discussion between all of the mods.

I think the 2nd LoL thread was longer than that.

If post counts matter as much as they would, I'd be a king ;D!
