[Josh]

johnathan suspended for three days for hijacking a thread and continuing to do so after being asked not to.

This is a big no-no and the automatic way to turn a suspension into a permanent ban.

[PetersCreek]

TheHalcyonYear suspended for 7 days for disruptive political posts.

[chrissy]

PlayStationX has been permanently banned for returning as a sock puppet.

[PetersCreek]

RGClark suspended for 3 days for continued, disruptive cross-posting of his pet technology in spite of moderator warnings, extensive discussion of the practice, and a previous 1-day suspension.

[Josh]

BillyG has been suspended for 7 days for breaking a number of rules including language and religion.

Edit by pzkpfw: ban made permanent, based on new information.

Edit/clarification by ToSeek: New information was sock puppetry, e.g., australopithecus, also now banned.

[PetersCreek]

[antoniseb]

Larry Jacks has been suspended for three months for a post insulting a large group of people.

[captain swoop]

cosmicdave Suspended for a week for thread disruption, thread hijacking and ignoring moderators requests.

[antoniseb]

Aristarchusinexile is out for up to a day. He's probably just a new member who doesn't know the ropes, but he's been hijacking threads, talking ATM in non-ATM sections, and mentioning religion.

If he turns out not to be a sock puppet, we'll let him back in sooner.

[Edited by Moose:] Which we have. Suspension has been converted to a warning.

[PetersCreek]

north suspended for 7 days for behavior in this thread: failure to heed moderator requests/warnings, not providing evidence/support for ATM arguments, and not answering direct questions.

[Moose]

Neverfly, suspended for two weeks for an unacceptably rude post here, aggravated by a recent pattern of rude behavior, and ignoring several warnings to that effect.

[PetersCreek]

oxxo banned for chronic and intractable failure to answer questions and support his arguments in this thread.

[ToSeek]

[Sticks]

Warren Platts given one day out due to incivility

Edited by HenrikOlsen to add that the suspension was given for a post Warren later apologized for, so the suspension had been revoked upon review of the entire thread.

[captain swoop]

Repeated use of the forum (and not just in his/her own threads) to advertise his/her ATM idea without any engagement in discussion of it.
