The ban list.

[Crashlander04]

The real question about the bans is if the reset should be complete or partial. That is, should we allow everyone to start with a clean slate or should we make an exception for the big names (jyan, terion, pav, Ian, Giratina, Nlewis, Pwol, Sparky, Ryan, etc). keeping them banned

I think it can be said without any argument Pavja and Jyan each did a considerable amount more harm than Ian, Lewis, Pwol, and Giratina ever did combined.

Hypothetically, (with Pavja and largely memorable griefs as exceptions) the more prominently known names are due to the large amount of controversy that surrounded cases - making the crime much less definitive (probably a bad word for it) or simply subjective. Whereas the less known permanbanned are blatant hackers, griefers, and x-rayers who were indisputably banned. If anything, the controversial cases are the ones who deserve (at least more than the other cases) compassion the most.
