Was he really that bad?
I've read a lot of his stuff
under 2 different names.
He's a bit different but,
entertaining to read.
How much trouble can
you really cause typing
stuff on a forum?
Oh, well

Gorotsuki always types in Haiku , or doesnt realize the forum does word wrap automatically, or both.

The screwy type
is just my thing.
I actually did the same
here before as Naru.
Was just getting familiar
with the place when
a drunk driver crashed through
my house, the gas line
and obliterated it.

It's taken a year or so
to get back here but,
I was unable to log back in.
Forgot the password or got
pruned for inactivity.

Anyhow, back to the fun.

What was the reason he was banned ACCORDING TO THE RULES?

I mean I def got a vibe that everyone thought he was a knob, but honestly, I have seen worse.

I some (very rare and small) instances he was funny and I really loved his workout video..... I lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks! :lol >:D Looking like a spider crawling upside down! :-\

I'm betting the answer lies in Post Hell, so we may never know.  However, Saint vary rarely bans people, so if he was banned, you can be certain it was for a good reason.

I've lost exact count, but he has been banned, in his various incarnations, either 4 or 5 times now.

I think it is 5 ... I believe one of his accounts was reinstated after a previous banning.

That would mean Ummon has been banned as much as or more than all others combined (that I can think of) in all the time that I have been here.

I saw a number of the events that lead to some of his bannings and they were all pretty clearcut and I know that I was thinking that he should be banned again in the first weeks of December, even though I wasn't involved in those dustups.

You missed the unwritten rule.  Saint pays for it.  He/his mods can do as they please, without having to explain reasons to us peons.

Don't annoy the guy that foots the bill.  Good words to live by.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Saint,

Can't you just IP ban him instead?

I mean just do the last octet.

Worst case scenario he changes ISPs.

Just hope the guy isn't using your provider.... :dizzy:    :laugh2:

If someone is determined they can get around the ban with a different email and/or IP (using proxies if nothing else). It doesn't cause me any grief to ban multiple accounts however.  It's a bit of a silly game but meh.

Hehehe, that was quite funny. I think I actually saw that. To be honest, if he was that annoying ALL the time, I would ban him myself, so I don't blame you!

The reason I asked is that if I ever lost my rag and ranted on I wouldn't want to get banned. I know how quickly things can turn nasty... was just curious really. :P

Aside from spammers, I have never that I can recall banned someone without a whole handful of warnings.

He PM'd me with some incoherent rambling about hanging with stoners and me being a conformist.
Meanwhile, he non-conformed his way off the best forum on the net.

Way to stick it to The Man, Ummon.  :cheers:

I was blessed to hear from him also.  Funny, his new ID originally had three posts but, in typical fashion, he found himself being edited by the man again.
