ultramaryna once again suspended for posting ATM claims outside of the ATM subforum, in spite of moderator warnings and infractions. This time (again) it was in multiple posts in same thread as above.

[PetersCreek]

john hunter suspended for inserting his ATM ideas into Q&A [here]...once again demonstrating that saying you can't talk about an ATM, only to then talk about, is not a successful gambit.

[PetersCreek]

ultramaryna banned for continued ATM claims outside of the ATM forum...the latest being in this thread...in spite of numerous warnings and infractions.

[slang]

john hunter suspended once again, after an accumulation of infraction points. The last one for posting an inappropriate ATM thread.

[PetersCreek]

Dave Lee suspended for two weeks due to an accumulation of escalating infractions. In spite of multiple warnings and infractions, he continues push ATM ideas outside of the ATM forum. Doing it under the guise of asking questions (only to reject or ignore the answers) doesn't make it okay. [ref]

[PetersCreek]

TimFinch suspended due to a rapid accumulation of infraction points for arguing moderation within a CT thread, in spite of clear warnings not to do so.

[Swift]

TimFinch infracted and suspended for this post and acting as a moderator, accusing others of being sock puppets, hijacking a thread with more of his hoax beliefs when he had abandoned the thread he had and just being completely disruptive.

[PetersCreek]

TimFinch banned along with the sock puppet (Researcher) he created to circumvent his suspension.

[slang]

Dubbelosix finds himself suspended after running into incivility issues and promoting ATM outside the ATM forum.

[tusenfem]

Well, that did not take long Dubbelosix suspended again for various reasons, this incivility was the drop that let the bucket overflow.

[ToSeek]

Dubbelosix suspended again for this post. Next time it won't be temporary.

[PetersCreek]

Dave Lee suspended for 2 weeks due to accumulated infraction points, for pursuing an ATM agenda outside of the ATM forum. [ref]

[Swift]

Ken G has been suspended for arguing moderation and continuing a discussion that he was told to not discuss in Q&A (ref).

[PetersCreek]

Orionspear banned as a spammer. We normally catch spammers in the moderation queue so you never see them but this one came in under the radar and kept a low profile...mostly. A couple of spammy links and other evidence eventually gave it away. [ref]

[ToSeek]

Dubbelosix permanently banned for a short (under two months) but rich history of civility and decorum (Rule 2) violations, the most recent of which is here.

[Swift]

Craig2, from this thread, has been banned as a sockpuppet.

[slang]

Three rules broken, two infractions, one suspension. gunzlepug is out for a bit. [ref]

[PetersCreek]

WaxRubiks suspended for revisiting an ATM topic that he's taken a few swipes at already, without clearance to do so.

[PetersCreek]

Dave Lee banned due to an accumulation of infraction points. The single point that broke the camel's back was given for a pattern of evasiveness and refusal to answer questions in this thread.

[PetersCreek]

Samoan Dicer banned for creating a sock account, caught in the moderation queue.

[PetersCreek]

Crutcher banned as a spammer who managed to get one post through the mod queue before being reported by a sharp-eyed member.

[PetersCreek]

Mark Shepherd suspended for rudeness. After being warned in-thread about rude and insulting remarks, he chose to ratchet things up in this post.

Edit to add:

We discovered that this member is a sock puppet of two banned users. Suspension converted to permanent ban.

[Swift]

wd40 suspended for this post. He asked for permission to discuss a partisan/political aspect of the film and was told he could discuss the film, but not the specific issue. He then brought up that issue in the very first post.

[PetersCreek]

wd40 suspended for his long history of posting off-topic and often ATM remarks as if to pursue an agenda. Considered in isolation, the post he was infracted for wouldn't normally draw more than an in-thread warning. However, it is representative of a years-long pattern of disruptive behavior...this being his 38th infraction.

[slang]

A single infraction point here after pretty much daily spamming many threads on similar or pointless topics together with still active infraction points sees Waxrubiks suspended. We've never been too strict on topics and number of threads in Babbling, but some posters are overdoing it.

[PetersCreek]

Ans suspended due to accumulation of infraction points. In this case, for DIY moderation in an effort to exclude an argument against his claims.

[PetersCreek]

Dook permanently banned for abusive PMs to a moderator. While we all expect to take some guff from members who are upset or angry, gratuitous and abusive insults are over the line, especially if the PMs are sent solely for that purpose.

[tusenfem]

philippeb taking a few days off as a result of continuous handwaving and not giving straight answers on even the simplest questions.
here e.g. https://forum.cosmoquest.org/showthr...97#post2465597 the first thing was all but "obvious".

[Swift]

speach has been permanently banned for intolerable rudeness to one of the members of the Moderation Team. We are tolerant of adult language in the privacy of PMs. We are also tolerant of opposition to our actions, either well thought out, or emotional. But we are also humans, and there are limits to the abuse we will put up with.
