Is the ban permanent?
It's a temp-ban.

Kirbynator decided to make multiple posts in the GoT thread which clearly states in the title that no bookreaders are allowed to post in the thread.

After getting temp-banned, Kirby used an older account of his and again posted in the GoT no-bookreader thread.

The temp-ban was extended.



There were a total of six poster identified in the no-bookreader thread who were self-acknowledged bookreaders. All got banned depending on the content and quantity of their posts.

Do you have an issue with me, constantly harassing?

Just intellectually interested.

Nope. But you'd know that if you knew anything about the issue at hand, which you don't, so I'm not sure why you bother commenting.

Out of principle. l'm part of this forum, also as a whole.

Having reading people getting mass-banned for posting in a "non-reading thread" isn't harmonizing with my values, however fun it may seem in this special case.

"known bookreaders"

it's like 1984 + Brazil + The Patriot Act + The Crucible, but even more horrific because the setting is an internet messageboard.

I consider it my masterpiece when I made a spoilerish GoT-reference in a 24 thread (but only recognizable to bookreaders), which caused SenorKeeed to spell it out and, in turn, resulted in him being temp-banned.

Seems a logical reaction to your posts.

Logic may be too cruel. We need heart.



Soon we'll be at the point when I'm utterly forced to contemplate calling in the cavalry from SMP.

Then...

AFAIK, he hasn't posted in that thread with his older account. He posted in other threads, and that got the ban extended.

Doesn't matter. Circumventing your temp-ban by using another account is a huge no-no.

Not true for temp-bans. And he didn't just let it go and move on under the other account, he used it to passive-aggressively cry about it in the other thread in the GoT subforum.
