Interesting. Questions asked on June 1st have been answered.
Nah, those people get temp bans as warnings.
Not from their posting history.
Well, when they post daily but have stretches of days with no posts, that’s usually a good indicator.
I wonder what triggers a ban? Presumably doing something after you’ve been explicitly and repeatedly asked not to (?)
I mean, I’ve had posts removed before so have clearly breached the rules, but I’ve never been banned for a period. (Not sure how I’d cope! Pretty much my only social contact is on Paizo.com. :p)
Not from what I have seen. Some have an official title in PFS and behave deplorably towards people. However, their posts seem to be sycophanty towards the mods and Paizo in general. I have seen them attack enmasse people who do not share their experience or point of view.
Case in point someone on another thread asked why some pdfs were just about ad expensive as the physical product. That was a valid questiom. The responses to this person were horrible, insults to their intelligence and experience. Others were patronizing basically stating that the hobby is expensive and people who work at certain locations might not appreciate that fact.

A stretch of a half dozen or so of inflammatory or insulting posts.
I've been banned a few times for 24 hours, it's no fun.

Me.
It's hard getting in arguments or get banned when all you do is hangout in off topic.

Missed that thread, never fun when someone gets jumped on and I definitely can name a few of the people you are referring too off hand.
That being said, my answer to why the PDF's costs as much as they do is 2 fold.
1- The same number of people typically buy a product whether it is physical or digital and the company needs to hit x items sold for x profit. The cost of production of the physical materials doesn't off set the bills so in essence, while the PDF is and should be cheaper, they still need to make each sale at a specific profit to keep the lights on
2- They want their Friendly Local Game Stores to stay open and be competitive. If they undercut the physical cost at the game store by a margin that makes it detrimental to the game store making sales then they lose the brick and mortar aspect which these games really really need to keep word of mouth advertising viable.
If I find that thread I'll throw this in there.
