Why was he banned?Do. Especially since his banning had nothing to do with the thread you were derailing.
+1 - a thread detailing why members get banned would be very useful - why all the oblique references? Why not just come out and say why users get banned?Why was he banned?
This has been mentioned and questioned many, many times before. The mods and admin generally do not answer. It maintains a certain mystique+1 - a thread detailing why members get banned would be very useful - why all the oblique references? Why not just come out and say why users get banned?

Seriously though, it seems to be a policy, and I can understand why. The mods give a reason, and then the forum descends into chaos arguing about the rights or wrongs of it. Note - I am NOT saying his banning was deserved. I have no idea why that occurred.
Don't worry, I'll ask the question for you when you get banned.This has been mentioned and questioned many, many times before. The mods and admin generally do not answer. It maintains a certain mystique

Typically it's because a forum member has garnered 10+ infractions and the system bans them until enough points have expired. Since all ten points contributed equally towards the ban I'm not sure how a thread detailing the circumstances contributing to a ban would be of any use to you.+1 - a thread detailing why members get banned would be very useful - why all the oblique references?

ExplainA banned member still has a right to privacy
Explain what? Why someone should have a right to privacy? Why shouldn't they when they'll be back after points have expired. They're more than welcome to discuss the events that transpired to lead up to their banning if they choose to.Explain
How do they discuss it when they're banned?Explain what? Why someone should have a right to privacy? Why shouldn't they when they'll be back after points have expired. They're more than welcome to discuss the events that transpired to lead up to their banning if they choose to.
I would think he's talking about people only temporarily banned due to infraction points.How do they discuss it when they're banned?
So they can discuss the ban once they are back? How does that help them in the case of an unfair ban?I would think he's talking about people only temporarily banned due to infraction points.
You know the mods are never wrong, don't you?So they can discuss the ban once they are back? How does that help them in the case of an unfair ban?
Oh wait, the moderators discuss the merit of a possible ban before action gets taken.
They always follow this procedure, thus ensuring a fair decision

He had a bit of an argument with a few users after moving back to the USA and then slowly started posting less and less until he disappeared.He is not banned but whatever happened to crackersa? I haven't seen a post from him in current affairs for a while.
