Large number of TOS violation temp bans lately?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've noticed a surprisingly large number of temporary bans in place over the last few days. Was there one very special thread that caused all those TOS violation temp bans, or are they isolated individual incidents, or what?

(Incidentally I'm not trying to stir anything up or challenge the bans in any way at all, just morbidly curious.)

I thought there would be, but I actually see no evidence of that.

It's cause I keep leaving TB for more than a day.

First time I left for a while, Maki got banned.
Second time, I'm pretty sure it was you Keith.
Third Time, Maki
Fourth Time, Maki.

see the trend?

That is because of the "Tell a joke, get arrested" thread he made.

I'd actually be in favor of MORE bans.........But just from OT. Just about everyone that raises hell in OT behaves in the rest of the forum. Some are supporting members that often have deals going on in the FS areas.

Honestly, it wouldn't have bothered me if JT banned everyone in several recent threads, myself included. Things get heated, especially when the "P" subject comes up. It's human nature.

No the other p word that rhymes with SCHMOLITICS

IMHO, calling a cop a PIG should be an instant permaban. To me that's worse than droping the N, F, or C bomb
