It seems pretty clear to me what's trying to be achieved, and I agree that some action may need to be taken against certain individuals who take it too far (I'll freely admit that I fall in this category). But the way to go about disciplining this community is not to bring back people who haven't been a part of its scene or unique culture for years.

Just because something went unpunished in the past doesn't make it right. Just to clarify, people aren't being "brought back" by anyone (moderator wise). No-one is being messaged and asked to come back -- I myself have always just lurked about checking the site every few weeks. Not sure about the others, but it isn't hard to distinguish banter contextually (e.g. being able to tell what's banter between friends and being a dick to someone). Again, if you think there's been a problem with punishment, take it up with the mod who did it, instead of saying the mods are useless / not involved enough.
