I would hope he wasn't banned because some of his views were repugnant.It wasn't spamming in the VIAGRA!!! PORN!!! OMG CLICK HERE FOR FREE CATZ!!! sense. He regularly posted links to his website, and copy/pasted a number of articles which we aren't necessarily allowed to publish here. When he did copy/paste stuff, he often did it in a manner which left a load of extraneous information in, like "By Haaretz | May.08, 2013 | 4:01 AM" which you get if you just click, drag, and copy off news sites.
Does this forum have the concept of a quarantine/time out for those who transgress but have the potential to behave themselves?
He also created a thread in which he pasted PMs without properly formatting them, meaning they didn't show up as anything but a mess. We sent him numerous PMs about all of this, and I don't recall ever getting a response from him about it.
All of it combined makes a case for banning him, especially as he didn't appear to care about the rules and changing how he posted. If people think we were too harsh, we'll look into it and possibly reduce it to a warning.
As Rhythm said, we used to have the Gauntlet, but since hardly anyone sent there started behaving, it was deemed pointless. Most offenders seemed to think it was funny.
