Del is right. I just want to quickly address some things before they become rumours. We do not ban people lightly and in any case of someone being banned, there's a lot of things that get deleted by moderators due to its offensive nature that regular members do not see. Permanently banning someone is a last resort and they will usually have been given a number of chances to start following the rules, and we do patiently try to explain to people what we expect of people and try to help them to become better members. If they carry on being jerks then there's only so many times you can say "Please stop doing X" before it's evident that people have no intention of changing and their continued presence merely ruins the forums for others.
I think 99% of you understood my post was just a bit of fun at the end of a long saga and posting: doesn't really get you banned!
Outside of spambots, advertisers and second accounts, we only permanently banned one user in the whole of 2013, and that user deliberately posted porn in order to get themselves banned. As a fun trivia question, see if you can figure out who it was!
