This will be a listing of users that have been banned or suspended for rules violations (other than spambots that have been immediately deleted)

 

Automatic suspensions for exceeding the 25-point limit of infractions are three days. (edit: points system no longer in use)

Other suspensions and bans are from explicit moderator action.

 

"Sabbatical" refers to a user-requested suspension/ban (update 4/24/09)

 

 

————————————————————

 

Zephir has been suspended for 1 week for repeated highjacking via off-topic posts of alternative theories in the physics section (including violations of rule 2.5, use of scientific threads to advertise a personal theory)

Zephir again suspended for thread hijacking in violation of rule 2.5.

Zephir again suspended for multiple rules violations, 2.3.5b and 2.5. Two weeks

Insane Alien`s also been temp banned at his own request, so that he can do his Studies.

he`ll be back around the 20`th May.

Zephir been suspended again, so we're going to make it permanent. This should give him more time to devote towards learning actual science. Best of luck, Z. Aether you're a genius or you're an idiot (had to be done).

alanejackson has been suspended for three days, for a combination of Flaming, Trolling and Hijacking. Let's hope he can get it together and stop whining about Galileo persecution, but let's not hold our breath, either. Even money says we'll see him listed here again in a few days.

Vexer has been suspended as the next natural step in SFN's crusade against him, and it was is in no way simply because we got pissed off with him disrupting threads to tell us about this crusade that we are waging against him for no reason at all!.

 

Vexer, when you come back: drop it.

drochaid: banned at own request.

corrected violation list

bellbottom25 is spending some time away from us for attitude readjustment.

I'm not sure I want him back, his last few posts were fairly racist. Us Jews and low-caste foreigners might be better off without him.

ok dokey

DavyJonesLoquet suspended (3 days) for multiple counts of thread hijacking.

Graviphoton suspended for seven days for personal attacks/flaming.

Update: Graviphoton's seven day suspension has been extended to coincide with eventual contraction of the universe.

Motor Daddy has been suspended for one week for trolling. This includes deliberately dragging out discussions to an absurd degree. This disruptive behavior persisted after being warned several times.

a Clown has been banned due to hazmat violations (deliberate posting of pornographic material).

just out of interest, how does diliberately posting porn violate our hazmat rules?

 

was it tubgirl?

It isn't hazmat, it's rule 2.6.

Motor Daddy has earned an automatic three-day suspension for his latest infractions, for inappropriate remarks and trolling.

 

 

—————————

 

 

Tsolkas has been suspended for two months, for opening a new thread on exactly the same topic as a thread that was locked, and the old thread was locked because the user would not engage in discussion on the topic, ignoring corrections and objections.

 

The suspension is unusually long because the user makes only an occasional hit-and-run post, and a short suspension would have no effect on behavior.

Chandrakanth has been banned, after admitting that the user is merely drumming up buzz for a new book, and that no discussion of claims was being contemplated.

multiple post merged

New Science has been permanently banned, after repeated failed attempts to get him to answer questions regarding his Speculations. Attempts to explain where his information was in error were ignored. He proved to be inconsistent with our purposes and unwilling to adopt even the basic rigor science requires.

Motor Daddy has been perma-banned, for pretty much the same reasons as above.

 

Unless it was one of the mods who changed his avitar to a picture of a troll, we probably should have banned him earlier tbh

traveler has been suspended for one week for trolling.

Tsadi has been banned for being a sockpuppet of a previously banned user. (Graviphoton)

jerrygg38 has been suspended for persistently invoking his speculative theory in science discussion, outside of its own thread.
