An extremely good point. If one admin takes a personal dislike to a member, it should not necessarily influence the admin of another site that the member belongs to. However sadly, this is happening.
And as the said member is banned, it is hard for him to debate the ban by either party, despite breaking no rules on either forum. and may have to post on other forums to refute the ban that the admins have no influence over.
One would think that an admin would not do such a thing, but it sadly is not the case.

The basic concept seems like a good idea and it seems to work, but cross banning of members who have broken no rules by the various admins as a "favour" to the other admins actually destroys the creditability of the network. And of the admins concerned.
I have influence on some sites that have shown interest in joining, but I cannot in good conscience recommend the network as it currently exists to any one.

I wish more sites would join the network though. I feel like the odd man out.
