In general banning users does not happen a lot if at all. What is desired |
22 |
is some kind of proper behaviour. Only breaking email threads is |
23 |
certainly not enough. To be banned one would probably have to be trolling |
24 |
a lot, sending spam, or something the like. Most things certainly warant |
25 |
a warning first (probably only spamming being an exception). |

In short, don't be afraid. It's appreciated if you follow the requests of |
28 |
other members, but you will not be kicked if you forget. Worst thing |
29 |
you'll be ignored. |

ps. The idea is that if the thread stumbled upon a different subject, you |
34 |
change the subject line. If however you want to have a different subject |
35 |
to which the previous mail is not really related, you start a new thread. |
