Phi for All Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 The Geckomancer has been banned. We were just going to suspend for his "I'm never wrong" style of soapboxing, but then he went foul and started abusing the PM system. We hope he finds whatever he might be looking for, and people that understand the way he explains it.
Phi for All Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 conway has requested a ban, and we've responded with a year's suspension, to give him time to let his ideas mature. Kudos at least for recognizing a problem, conway. Best of luck.
