I noticed, Stimbo.
Do you note, too, the theme of what constitutes "disruption of forum functionality"?
The way I see it, it pertains to actual database access (prevent post or thread loss), server-side file access, allowing regular members to access the site and... well.... keeping the site going.
I don't feel like it's in the spirit of this rule to disrupt moderator ability to snoop your details when they think they need to...
But... hey... I'm out here... you guys do your job.
It's my opinion that the reason given for the ban is one that shouldn't be given, ever... it sets a worrying precedent for future users concerned with their privacy.
If, like SC says, the user was trolling, then "banned for trolling" should suffice as a reason.
