My first real ban!

I think my last WP was for +1'ing a fragony post.

I got banned from a well known Linux community forum earlier this year, for calling the mods there "heavy handed" and disagreeing over an issue of double standards. One member requests a complete username change and gets it straight off with no questions asked - another new member requests a correction to a spelling mistake in his username (a matter of swapping two letters) and gets read the rulebook and told to make another account. I spoke up on the member's behalf. I was actually "stealth banned" - no change of user status, no "you are banned" email, no messages, nothing. Logged in one day and was greeted with a "no permission" message. I despise such corruption. Only time I can remember being banned from anywhere.
