Banned/Suspended Users

[CaptainPanic]

eric555 has been banned for failing to successfully engage in a two-way communication with a fellow human, and generally just not making any sense.

 

The ban was discussed among the moderators, and was approved with 6 in favor, and 0 against (a minimum of 4 is required).

[swansont]

Staff consensus is that the week of July 9 be deemed to be abuse-from-Aethelwulf free. Suspended.

[hypervalent_iodine]

After extensive staff discussion, we've decided to make this week a two-for-one and suspend pmb as well.

[swansont]

For some over-the-top outbursts, The Architekt has earned a two-day cooling-off period.

[hypervalent_iodine]

Aethelwulf has been permanently banned upon his own request.

[Phi for All]

Dr. Maybe has managed, in a mere 16 posts, to get himself suspended for 3 days for failure to provide evidence for his assertions, trolling, grossly uncivil behavior including personal attacks and putting quotes around way too many words. Come back nicer, Doc, or don't come back "at all".

[swansont]

The Architekt has been suspended a week. One hopes he spends it learning how to interact with people.

[hypervalent_iodine]

pmb has been permanently banned. This is partly because it was requested, but a large majority of the reason is due to his inability to pay attention to our rules while simultaneously demanding everyone else follow them to the letter; and frankly, we're all a little bored of all the high-maintenance drama.

[CaptainPanic]

After a discussion among the staff, we have decided to give alpha2cen a 3-day suspension for continuous thread hijacking with off-topic nonsense.

[swansont]

Amanbir banned for carpet-bombing us with trollish posts.

[Phi for All]

bellbottom25 has been banned as a sockpuppet account for the previously banned eric555. Not making sense is a poor disguise for not making sense.

[mooeypoo]

The Architekt was permanently banned from the forum for his incessant attempts to teach us what our rules should have said instead of what they're saying.

 

Also, he asked, and we complied. You're welcome.

[imatfaal]

Absolutely has been suspended for a week for posting unintelligible text-speak and using foul and abusive language when asked to communicate properly by staff

[hypervalent_iodine]

Autumn_Man is banned as a sock puppet of pmb. Strange course of action for someone who so badly wanted his account deleted, but no matter.

[swansont]
