Jens
24 Hour Suspension for ignoring Moderator instructions and warnings not respond in thread to percieved bad behaviour by other posters.

[PetersCreek]

Gruesome suspended under rules 2 & 3, for incivility and masked foul language. He was warned for the latter just a few days ago but repeated it to the letter.

[captain swoop]

Bob Angstrom Suspended for 24 hours for thread hijacking after a number of warnings.

[PetersCreek]

forrest noble suspended for 24 hours for repeatedly promoting his website in spite of a moderator warning to refrain from doing so.

[PetersCreek]

Anonymous Shaman suspended for 24 hours for hijacking after being warned not to do so and for disputing moderator actions in-thread.

[pzkpfw]

Another 7 days off for Anonymous Shaman for multiple rule violations, especially bad after just coming off a previous suspension.

Gravity in Space

[Moose]

boppa suspended for 24 hours for repeated use of bad language and attempts to evade the word filter, and ignoring a moderator warning to that effect.

[antoniseb]

BigDon has a day off. I had tried to be tolerant because I knew that the thing he was responding to was a push-button issue of his, but he PM'd me and is correct. I need to suspend him.


Edit by pzkpfw: Since several people have asked - yes, suspended, not banned (user title is a slight oversight).

[antoniseb]

CONSPIRACY REALIST has been suspended for 24 hours, though this suspension may get reduced or extended following discussion by the mods.

There are several concerns, but it was heavy alert-traffic that caused this action.

Post edit: A recent alert questioned whether someone can get suspended merely for getting many alerts. The answer is yes, but it will be a short suspension, and if it is determined that the suspension was unwarranted on any rule, it will not count against the suspended poster in his history. We do these things to create temporary peace while we sort things out. BTW, we have also suspended people for posting many unwarranted alerts. This is not a free way to silence your opponents.

In the case of CONSPIRACY REALIST we are still on the fence about what to do.

[Sticks]

aastrotech suspended for seven days for violating rule 17 concerning moderator actions.

Edit by pzkpfw: Note that it's also as much about rule 14. aastrotech has a long history of making claims against the moderators (which in itself we wouldn't mind, in the appropriate manner) while refusing to provide evidence, on obscure grounds. He has had several warnings to cease, most recently... Thread Locking

[pzkpfw]

CONSPIRACY REALIST gets a day off for persistently refusing to answer questions on his CT.

Just read this thread: CONSPIRACY REALIST vs Apollo if you want to see the history.

[Swift]

Raphael suspended for 24 hours for continuing rude behavior and failure to defend their conspiracy theory, both after multiple warnings.

[antoniseb]

CONSPIRACY REALIST is banned forever for making threats. He had previously been on the forum before as Interdimensional Warrior, but technically this wasn't a Sock Puppet issue, since IW hadn't been banned, and there was no overlap or attempt to claim being two different people. This banning is purely because of implied threats to forum members and NASA officials.

Apparently 24 hours was not enough. Immediately upon returning Raphael went back to the exact same behavior. Maybe 3 days will get the point across.

[antoniseb]

Bob Angstrom is suspended for two weeks for ignoring warnings about hijacking someone else's ATM thread.

[Sticks]

abcdefg suspended for one week due to cumulative disruptive behaviour, this post being the final straw

[antoniseb]

Raphael has been suspended for at least part of a day while we discuss how to handle his/her situation. One of the main issues has to do with too much religion in the posts.

EDIT BY TOSEEK: Suspension upgraded to two weeks due to accumulated offenses in the areas of religious content, thread hijacking, rudeness, and refusal to answer questions.

[ToSeek]

abcdefg suspended for a week for yet another instance of inserting ATM in Q&A.

[ToSeek]

snp.gupta earned a three-day suspension from accumulated infractions due to ATM misbehavior.

[PetersCreek]

One-post wonder brigliqui banned as a known spammer.

[PetersCreek]

MDT-1 has been suspended for 3 days as a result of accumulated infraction points earned in the On Velocity thread.

ETA clarification: Points were given due to a continuing refusal to answer questions.

[pzkpfw]

TESLACOIL had a temper tantrum/meltdown which resulted in an expletive laden rant against a BAUT member, and one of those "please ban me" posts (also breaking our language rules).

Wish granted.

[PetersCreek]

realitydesign suspended for 3 days as a result of accumulated infraction points earned in the thread, NASA is a military organization.

ETA clarification: Rather than answering questions, realitydesign just kept posting a link to a website he supports, even after being warned to stop doing so.

[antoniseb]

mugaliens has been banned for life.

UPDATE: Mugaliens contacted me [ToSeek] via email to indicate that someone with access to his computer posted the inappropriate message. Said message has been removed, and he has been reinstated. Members are reminded to protect their accounts as they will be held responsible for what's posted under them unless there's a good explanation otherwise.

[tusenfem]

snp.gupta suspended once more by accumulated infractions for continuing not to answer questions.

[ToSeek]

abcdefg permanently banned for sending harassing PMs to an administrator even after being warned to cease and desist.

[PetersCreek]

realitydesign suspended for 7 days due to an additional accrual of infraction points, awarded for political posting. This, in spite of moderator warnings to read and follow our rules.

[pzkpfw]

MDT-1 banned as sock puppet of previously banned member.

[antoniseb]

A.DIM is out for three days. He's had a long-standing feud with certain other members, and has been asked to leave them alone... but failed. This is probably his penultimate suspension.

EDIT: Suspension modified so as to be inflicted by the infraction system. This made it seven days rather than three, which is appropriate for a final warning. - ToSeek

[pzkpfw]

Terry Giblin suspended (via infraction points adding up).

Latest infraction was use of an "Off topic babbling" thread to re-introduce his ATM.
