Davereneke suspended for 7 days for posting a second advertising post after his first had already been removed by a moderator and warning sent in a PM.
Get up, a get-get, get down.
Homo bibiens given the day off to take a few deep breaths and reflect on more appropriate ways he could express his disapproval. Let me be clear that hijacking multiple threads (even F&G threads) with an axe to grind is not one of those ways. As this appears to have been his first offense, one day will suffice. There will not be a repetition.
As to the event that appears to have triggered this tantrum (among others), we're looking into it, but it appears from an initial look to have been aggravated by a software problem: apparently a snowballing quirk of splitting threads that has so far resisted repair.
zazzzoom suspended for 3 days for continued violation (after in-thread warnings) of rule 13 in this thread: http://www.bautforum.com/against-mai...pace-ends.html

New member jdavisabc initially suspended for 24 hours for insulting, foul language in violation of rules 2 and 3. After moderator discussion, the suspension has been increased to 3 days, in addition to the ~5 hours already served. This member's reaction to a single post was simply too extreme to merit less stringent action.

keshe banned permanently for spamming.
We normally don't mention it when we do so, but there had been responses to his first post so this information is to stop people from wondering what happened to him.

A.DIM has been suspended for a day, for disruptive behavior, and for most particularly, abusing the Report Post function (12 Reports, all on the same thread, in 20 minutes). This suspension may be further modified pending continuing moderator discussion.
novaderrik suspended for 3 days for partisan political commentary (Rule 12) here.
undidly suspended for 3 days for posting ATM ideas in a Q&A thread, after being warned not to do so.
StevenO suspended for 24 hours for violation of rules 2, 13, and 16 in this thread and particularly, in his last post there. One should answer direct questions with direct answers, without having to be asked again and again...and without several moderator warnings. One should also report ad hom attacks rather than responding in kind.

brink suspended for his behavior in this thread. Behavior which includes name calling, swearing, and inappropriate commentary of a religious nature. The behavior spanned several posts.
[Update:] Because of the variety of offenses, the suspension has been set to 4 days plus the time already served.

gaetanomarano suspended for 7 days for once again hijacking a thread to promote his ideas despite numerous warnings both by PM and public posts.
This behavior is not acceptable and will no longer be tolerated.
gaetanomarano, if you keep up this behavior, you will be banned permanently for spamming.
If he tries again after he comes back, do not respond to the post but report him instead.

michaelsuede has been suspended for 24 hours for failure to answer questions in his ATM thread. He was repeatedly told that cutting and pasting answers from other sources is not a sufficient answer.
M311 suspended for 3 days for bad language here.
It's not the first time he's taken to cursing at a moderator message that had nothing to do with him.
If it wasn't the last time his days here will be short.

matthewota suspended one day for repeating an ad hom after a warning. I'm granting him some small benefit of the doubt he may have missed the previous warning, but once is the house limit.
matthewota suspended for a day for using his signature to complain about his suspension instead of following Rule 17 procedures.
Edited to add: Within 10 minutes of the suspension he had logged in with another account.
That's an automatic permanent ban of all socks.
matthewota permanently banned for trying to bypass a suspension by logging in with another user.

Buckwild specifically asked to be banned for life. We took his request seriously.

Brink suspended, duration to be determined, for again engaging in name-calling and inappropriate religious commentary.
Suspension converted to a permanent ban for a self-admitted attempt to evade his suspension via sock-puppetry.
