rcglinsk has been banned for life, for knowingly violating our no-ATM in the mainstream section (This was no simple misunderstanding of the rules). Also, the "Big Bang Questions" thread, which had turned into an EU thread, has been removed.

[antoniseb]

Robert Hastings has been banned. He was posting excerpts from his book in CT, and not answering questions raised. The assumption is he was merely spamming for his book.

[Jim]

boyfromspace has been permanently banned for a third violation of Rule 2:
UFOs and Nukes
He received temporary suspensions the other two times but they don't seem have taught him anything.

[HenrikOlsen]

connor240287 suspended until after the election for political posting.
Post removed.

[antoniseb]

m1omg is a nice guy, and generally posts polite and interesting things, but he/she took exception with connor240287 getting suspended for politics, and posted a political poll here (thread removed). He will be welcome back on November 6th.

[antoniseb]

abaraba was a sock puppet... and rather impolite.

[Tinaa]

I permanently banned connor240287 for return as sock connorherman. The post has been removed.



Edited By HenrikOlsen to add that coming back and posting while suspended will automatically make the suspension permanent with no additional warnings as the suspension is warning enough that posting should not be done.

William suspended for a week for promoting ATM here in a General Science thread.

Doodler has been suspended. I bounced him for a year, but that duration will be substantially reduced after I've finished looking at his history, and cooled down a bit. He posted a rude item about Armistice Day.

Post Edit: We changed it to one month off the forum.

[Tinaa]

Kevin Rudd banned because he's one of our usual return socks. And his posts removed.

[antoniseb]

Please note that he/she also just recently posted an inappropriate political jibe.

Post-edit: We got a message indicating that ParaDoctor may have gotten a false positive on our Sock-sniffer. I am restoring him with a warning about politics.

[PetersCreek]

Let Me Enlighten U permanently banned for chronic refusal to answer questions about his hoax theory.

[antoniseb]

I suspended johnathan for one day. I know he meant no harm, but he really has to read the rules. In this case he posted a commercial link in a spam like fashion, starting a thread that pretty much called for others to post spam.
