Lucious has been banned as a sockpuppet of Aethelwulf, graviphoton, TrappedLight, Tom Vose, Tsadi and possibly others. So many bodies.

d3mo has been banned as a sockpuppet account of z3rg/dochow. This was not to evade a suspension/ban, so the original account is intact…for the moment.

Tim the plumber has been banned for repeated soapboxing and trolling. A blog was suggested.

kristalris has been banned for apparently being unable to post without bringing up discussion topics that have been closed for other rules violations, and not learning from his prior suspension.

GeneralDadmission has been suspended for 7 days for a number of rules violations, which have been repeated and repeated to no avail.

GeneralDadmission has now been banned. The same rule breaches that caused his 7 day suspension have continued upon his return.

Brad Watson_Miami FL has been suspended for 63,510 days for repeated hijacking, personal attacks, and sending threatening PMs. We hope he's learned his lesson when he eventually comes back to us.

Bart was banned for continuing to re-introduce the same topic after being told not to

johncave has been banned as yet another sockpuppet of the mpc755 series.

Rubber skin. Easy to spot. Posts and responses to the posts have been terminated.


(edit, 12 April) smithjohn52 as well, from the same production facility.

I think we could all do with a reprise from the hail of foul language and abuse from Questionist. He has been suspended for a week to cool off and maybe read the modnotes he was so keen on ignoring.

 

----------------

 

randomc was suspended a few days ago for a week. This wasn't updated at the time because we were considering a ban.

yahya515 has requested to be banned. Apparently, self-control is not enough to keep some people away from science. We wish him all the best.

LisaLiel has been banned as a duplicate account of BlueSpike and Frank_Baker. We had been alerted to this possibility a while ago, but had no real evidence at the time. The original account was and is not banned, but it will be if they keep opening new ones and reintroducing closed topics.

Belated notice: biomart and about 15 other accounts were banned as sneaky spammers for a certain company. Just now I have added another member, Kellymiller, to that list.

xyzt has been banned. As much as we appreciated his knowledge in certain areas, his inability to distinguish cranks from people asking genuine questions and general need to become less helpful than abusive has become quite tiresome. I'm sure he'll be glad to be rid of this (in his words) cess pit.

xxx has been banned as a sock puppet for xyzt.

Electronic_engine has been banned as a sock puppet of yahya515.

The_eagle has likewise been force to flyaway, as a yahya515 sockpuppet

david345 suspended a week for a rash of attempts to circumvent thread closure, culminating with a rather inappropriate tone.

anne1991 was banned as yet another member of the biomart et. al. crew.

jeremyjr has been suspended for one week following his refusal to keep closed threads closed.

jlingaard has been suspended for a week for being a pest.

jlindgaard has been banned for persistently re-introducing locked topics

Harold Squared has been suspended for a week for his inability to carry out any discussion without resorting to fallacious arguments.

yuno44907 banned for posting hateful crap.

davidelkins has been suspended for soapboxing: starting cryptic threads and never returning to them to answer questions. (30 days, increase the chance it covers a period of time where he might show up and want to post)
