What Max has been suspended for a day. He's ignored suggestions, and unofficial warnings from members, and generally been insulting to people who don't believe as he does. He also hot-linked to a political cartoon...

Joeyvangel has been banned permanently for attempting to come back as a sock puppet in the same moon hoax thread. That post was deleted.

Lepton suspended 24 hours for abuse of the reporting process.

EDIT: Suspension rescinded around 7:30 pm after the object of his (excessive but merited) complaints was banned.

Paul Leeks has been banned for posting ATM and/or CT material in the mainstream part of the forum. Had this been his first mistake, or even if he'd ever shown any inclination that he was willing to pay attention to the rules, or care about keeping the mainstream sections mainstream as an educational resource, we'd have cut him some slack here... but no. He's gone.

Digix is out for a week, or permanently banned, pending discussion by moderators. He seemed to be showing a lot of disrespect for a particular religious group.
