Simple question, historically people get banned, they lurk in other rooms until they can worm their way back in, and persist and persist until they eventually get in and people pretend they forget.
Or they get kicked, then continue whatever they were doing on the forums.
So the question is, should people banned from a room, really be able to access the forum section relating to the room from which they were banned, where not only can they continue, they have the same means to continue what they were upto, contact the same people they could, and interact in a way that really lessens the impact of the punishment/ban.
Not only causing or continuing short term issues, but increasing the chances of people being persistent until they can work their way back into the room.
