So it seems that, in the near two months since I opened this thread, one or two things have been proved.

One is that Flat Stanley doesn't listen and is not prepared to behave with any good grace, but is a disruptive influence who will not moderate his behaviour.

He is therefore banned.

I'm posting this here for a number of reasons, including acting as a reminder that I am quite prepared to hand out bans for such disruption. If anyone is in doubt, banning for such a reason is in accordance with the AUP.

Everyone was warned – and certain 'suspects' were given the opportunity to prove themselves.

What about the disruptiveness of thebutcher. Surely whats good for the goose is good for the gander, although Stan is now been banned, it does worry me how the decision not to punish Stans aggressor was blindly overlooked. There's plenty of posts off thebutcher instigating disruptive waffle, which obviously got unbridled attention. Just saying.

MintBall is it possible to do a reverse DNS Lookup on the IP of the above user, just to double-check that this isn't a second account of the banned user?

whothefeckisalice now gone for being Flat Stanley.

Mintball - Is `MarioRugby` still on board?

Would appear to still be around, but if you didn't know, that suggests he's decided to heed warnings and stay away from this forum.

Cheers:
although, I will miss a person who seemed to become my sub-editor.

Perhaps ... maybe perhaps, debate will resume.

mint ball for president!

Heaven forfend!

In the meantime, to ensure transparency, let it be known that Foxtrot Echo has been banned, after being identified as a reincarnation of Flat Stanley.

Thank you.
