1) What I have learned in my time at banlist.nl: Rules cannot and shouldnot be set in stone.
As you said misbehaving is a reason for a ban. In one of my last game two people decided to kick their third teammember (stats 9:3)
Cause they wanted the money and they are pro. This is for me so called grief play and a reason for a ban, although they did nothing the game would not allow.
2) The difference between being a newbie (not the insult - just being new) and feeding on purpose has to be seen.
All of us started and when you see someone losing against a farmed demon tank pretty hard, this is not a ban reason.
I allways try to help people improve their gameplay and learn. If I see they don't want to learn they are kicked.
If I see they do die on purpose they are warned and banned.
3) As an Approved Host for DotA you have great responsibility in activeness and fairness. Although we are FAR away from that, the system started with 3 simple dota players active in the community. Some see themself not as common players anymore, but I do so! An approved host serves the community... not the other way.
I will totally rid my banlist from bans older than 1 year and most DotA bans. Disc-Tool-User, Flamer and misbehave in any way will stay.
After that I will start the project with a new xml.
Tribulation you are invited to join the project.
Perhaps the admin here can give us a forum for the project, or I host myself one.
