BAUT banned/suspended posters log

[Jim]

Northwind has been suspended for seven days for starting a Q&A thread to promote his ATM ideas.

[antoniseb]

RussT has been suspended for 7 days for promoting an ATM idea in the UT story comments section. (No Stars Shine)

[Jim]

Bishadi has been suspended for three days for amazingly rude behaviour.

[ToSeek]

Dutch suspended for a week for continuing to promote his ATM ideas despite multiple warnings.

[ToSeek]

Xiamnoblu banned as another sock puppet of Aldrin, ChaByu, Star Pilot, and many more.

[antoniseb]

Doodler has been suspended for three weeks. He has been warned numerous times and suspended previously for making very rude and caustic statements to people.

That being said, Doodler is a long time member who aside from his rudeness contributes quite a number of interesting ideas to this forum. It is our hope that he will realize that the BAUT environment is different and more gentle than what he may be accustomed to elsewhere.

[ToSeek]

Lurker banned for three days for this post.

[Serenitude]

Interdimensional Warrior permanently banned, per his request, after threatening to commit bannable actions should his request not be immediately honored, here 1st Question: How was the Apollo space craft cooled ?.

Note that an effort was made to both give him time to calm down, encourage him to stay, change from his "typical HB fallback" when demonstrated wrong, etc...

[Jim]

Minibee has been suspended for 21 days for violations of Rule 2 Civility and Decorum in this thread.

[The Bad Astronomer]

feathertop, montevideo, neonate, and bloody have been permanently banned for being sock puppets.

[antoniseb]

wolfpoker has been suspended for seven days, to give me time to clean the obscene language out of his posts. If he continues with this linguistic style after returning, he will become forever unwelcome here.

[antoniseb]

lyndonashmore was suspended for a week, and recent post removed for posting ATM material in a mainstream section.

[Jim]

Bishadi has been suspended for 21 days for a second violation of Rule 2, even though he was warned, in this thread.

[Serenitude]

Dfrank suspended 3 das for failure to answer direct and pertinent questions, despite requests from both members, warnings from a moderator, and finally a very specific moderator warning detailing the questions he must answer to avoid a short suspension, in this thread NASA the CONSPIRACY generator. It is my hope that Dfrank uses these 3 days to ponder the answer to the question tasked of him before his return.

[Serenitude]

Dfrank suspended 21 days for second failure to answer direct question and failure to heed moderator warning. During the 3 week break it is my hope that Dfrank uses the time to again read his thread, compose answers, and heed the moderator warnings. Dfrank should also remember that "I don't know", and "I am wrong" are perfectly acceptable answers.

[Serenitude]

Robert S. Fritzius suspended for 3 days for continued failure to answer direct and pertinent questions in the ATM forum wrt his "Venus Bugging Us?" 'hypothesis'. Also, continued failure to heed moderator warnings. Note that Robert recieved MANY, MANY warnings to do answer questions, from the cordial and freindly to the official, and failed to do so. It is my hope that Robert uses these 3 days to review the thread, prepare to begin to answer questions, and realize that moderator warnings at BAUT are best heeded.

BobbyGene banned after 2 moderator warnings (1 friendly, 1 official) wrt his behavior at BAUT in 24 hrs. He then inexplicably makes this post:

If the Law of Conservation of Energy is true, then .....

For the record, I had no intentions of either banning him or closing his thread before his flame out. I had, in fact, post a critical challenge to his ATM theory, but edited it because he seemed to have an attitude problem.

[antoniseb]

Dennis Dorgan has been banned forever for being a sock puppet of a previously banned member. Note that he/she said in a PM (and I'm paraphrasing here) Ha ha ha ha, you can't stop me. He or she is probably right about that.

It seems strange that someone wanting to discuss religious issues would come here, and persist in returning.

[Serenitude]

Robert S. Fritzius has been suspended for 2 weeks for his second violation of failure to answer direct and pertinent questions, failure to heed moderator warnings, handwaiving, in this thread:

Life on Venus bugging us?

Note he has been given MANY warnings, and despite them, and a previous suspension, still has unanswered questions from over 400 posts ago. It is my sincere hope that when Robert returns, he begins to respond to the questions that have been posed to him, and retreats from his debate style of handwaiving to attempt to avoid answering questions wrt ATM and Conspiracy claims made.

Edit - my sleep-deprived brain made it for an extremely harsh 2 months, not the intended 2 weeks. This has been corrected.

[Serenitude]

DennisD banned as a sock puppet of a previously banned member. This person has a strange fascination with sock puppetry at this forum, and thinks somehow that their minor antics are somehow a major disruption. To DennisD et. al., it takes you much more effort to create the sock puppet than it does a moderator to ban it. Enjoy yourself. You are irrelevant, at best.

[antoniseb]

rtomes was suspended for a week for advertising his ATM idea in a mainstream section of the forum. The post has been removed.

[Serenitude]

Bishadi banned for life after refusal to heed many moderator warnings wrt civility, decorum, and personal attacks. He also served a suspension for these reasons. Upon his return, his behavior had not changed. He was warned again, and chose not to heed the warning.

[Serenitude]

joshuatree has been banned for life after a flameout here:

What Happened on the Moon?

[ToSeek]

Dutch banned permanently for continuing to promote his ATM ideas in inappropriate locations despite many, many warnings. Last straw is here.

[You'd think he could have predicted this!]

[The Bad Astronomer]

After much discussion with the moderators, we have decided to permanently ban lyndonashmore. There have been multiple rules violations, including not answering questions in a timely manner (in this thread, specifically).

To be clear: if someone comes here and has the time to post their theory, then they have the time to stick around and answer questions. lyndonashmore has waffled, obfuscated, and delayed many times. It is clear to all of us that he won't answer many of the direct questions asked of him, and instead answers easy or older questions.

After many weeks of this, and multiple warnings, enough is enough.

[Serenitude]

Lurker banned permanently for multiple rules violations, including reprinting (partial) PM conversations without consent, and Rule 17 violations.

[ToSeek]

Zahl banned for a week for continuing Rule 2 ("civility and decorum") violations despite repeated warnings.

[HenrikOlsen]

Warren Platts suspended for 2 days for multiple posts about global warming in the "Global warming IS politics" thread where this is expressedly forbidden.

[antoniseb]

jybryce is suspended for a week. He was warned in line and advised by members to avoid politics, but he reacted badly to being told to follow the rules.

Edit: After discussion among the moderators, suspension was reduced to one day for a first offense.

[Serenitude]

ManInTheMirror suspended for 2 months due to multiple rule infractions, including trolling.
