    Question Recent Bannings

    There has been a recent banning spree going on here, it seems. I have a nagging suspicion that Caravel bought the farm, because under his username, rather that "member" it says "guest", which seems to be a euphemism here for "this person has been banned". However, that is not all. To top this off, we just had a double-whammy banning four days ago, two in the same day! Megas Methuselah, and Napoleon The Emperor Of Europe, who I have only ever seen once, and that was in the Entrance Hall, where one would think bannings would be sparse. So, why were these people banned? And is it permanent?

    Caravel asked for his account to be disabled. He's been posting under his other name, for the last few days. Whether he will go back to the old account, i dunno.

    As for banning people it's regular policy not to discuss the disciplinary actions taken against members unless those members do so first. At least not so publicly. This is done out of respect of the privacy for those who may be involved.

    I disabled my own account as Monk said.

    I'm not familiar with the other member - a quick review of his recent posts may provide some answers though.

    It's pretty common for people to get banned for a day or two if they've been naughty. I wouldn't worry about it the people who got banned will be back sooner or later.

    He was perma-banned by Tosa. All perma-bans are listed here.

    Warnings, Infractions, and Bans are not discussed with people other than those concerned for privacy reasons. Megas is aware of the reason and can inform you about it if he wishes to.

    He was banned not put prison. If you have his IM or email information i'm sure he'd be happen to inform you, or maybe not. I didn't have much interaction with him.

    Banned members are permitted to register new accounts for the purposes of appealing their case in the Watchtower if they wish. We also do not send out covert ops teams to abduct people and keep them in solitary confinement in padded cells. They are still capable of using any and all forms of communication that do not involve the Org, including email, chat programs, Facebook, regular mail, fax, telephone, telegraph, semaphore flags, signal lamps, smoke signals, oral communication, sign language, and newspaper classified ads.

    I specifically said members. Moderators are to remain inside their cages at all times and are only permitted to leave twice a day for five minute restroom breaks. Now get back to work!

    Is Warman banned, btw? He pmed me some time ago and I tried to reply back but this was simply impossible (full inbox). Second, his profile page is also inaccessible. Just inquisitive.

    P.S. Now it works. Ignore the message.
