Re: Miotas?
If I'm not mistaken, the intent of the OP is not to question or complain about miotas' enforced vacation, but a query about the effects on his profile and account. With the recent reboot of the boards, there may be some banhammer aspects that are different than they were before, so I can see this as a valid query.
Of course, that will not stop this thread from turning into a mod witchhunt and spamfest...

My post isn't criticizing the OP or his intent. It was triggered by and is related to Whacker's comment.Originally Posted by drone

These are conversations, and conversations are seldom linear. Topics wiggle a bit; it's natural.

Re: Miotas?
Yes, thank you
I am merely asking what happened to him, not why he was banned or that he should be unbanned. Miotas himself took the ban very honourably and did not object to it. What was the duration of his ban though? I am his friend, and he is a bully EB Taverner, so I am not about to ignore his disappearance.
Re: Miotas?
The terms/details of any ban/infraction are between the member in question and the administration. If the member should see fit to make this public then that is his/her decision.

Re: Miotas?
We (or at least, I) know how it is, Caravel. A couple of us were commenting on how we think it might be improved, for the better of the Org as a whole, in our respective opinions.

Re: Miotas?
My eyes were squared from fatigue when I read this.
I was paged on my profile a while back about this and saw nothing, odd to see this issue.
Temp bans, caused by receiving infractions, are not announced. It's a quiet private thing, lasting a few days only. I don't see why extra embarrassment should be added by posting about it.
A longer, manual ban is announced, but not a ban of spam accounts and/or dodging alts. By those I mean alts from an already banned user who registers several extra accounts to continue the crusade.

Re: Miotas?
I do not wish the details; just when he will come back. That has nothing to do with privacy, just when I can expect him back, as he is my pretty close friend as far as online friendships go. Duration of the bans have always been publicly announced.
Re: Miotas?
They have?
To me it's always been like people disappear silently and then some day they may or may not come back.
Like Byzantine Prince, I always wondered where he might have gone and just two days ago or so I read here that he was banned.
This isn't really criticism, I just wouldn't know where such things are being written down if they are.

Re: Miotas?
I actually do not remember such a ban...
Re: Miotas?
I just checked, there was no permanent ban of Byzantine Prince. He received several infractions at various points that likely would have resulted in temporary auto-bans, but nothing more. The last infraction he got was in September 2006 and he continued posting as late as June 2007. There were no infractions between September 2006 and June 2007, so it looks to me like he just drifted away on his own.
