Banned? There are tonnes of rigged threads alive in this forum and the OPs are still posting. You don't see them anymore because people eventually lose interest, the threads drop a couple of pages, and then someone like yourself starts a whole new thread. Of course some of them end up getting banned, usually because they don't know when to stop and end up breaking forum rules.
As to why they get bashed, it's usually because they've start yet another thread, just like all the others, with nothing but anecdotal malarkey and not a shred of data or evidence.

The name of the thread has been changed?
All the OPs posts are gone?
His PM to me is gone?
The name changed thread has been locked?
Another thread wondering about it is locked?
The rigged thread and the Real Deal threads were merged. Not sure why, probably because there was a lot of overlapping issues and discussions going on. When threads are merged, the earlier of the two OPs becomes the OP of the merged thread; in this case that was the Real Deal thread.
At that point Mr. Meares went off the deep end even more than he already was. I know that before that happened, he had been making unsubstantiated (and quite ridiculous) inferences that 2+2 was banning anyone that supported him, was corrupt, etc. After the merge, his paranoia grew exponentially. I know at least one mod received PMs about how corrupt 2+2 was, etc, etc. He went ahead and restarted his thread, which is obviously a no-no.
Anyway, I guess Mat Sklansky had enough of it. Why the ban took the form that it did, where all of his posts and PMs were wiped, you'd have to ask him. That's something commonly used for spammers, but sometimes for others as well.
