I can’t believe I’m having to write this, but here we go…
I just suspended a member of 17 years standing for using an acronym for a phrase that contains a major non-TF word.
You won’t be reading any new posts from him for some time.
Statements haven’t worked. Reminders haven’t worked. Endless examples of attempts to circumvent the filters (including acronyms) haven’t worked. Shorter suspensions have had only marginal effect. As many times as I’ve gone over this, it’s especially galling when a long-term poster who knows the rules thinks, “They don’t mean me.”
So long-term suspensions permanent bans are what’s left.
And we do mean you, even (especially!) if you've been around for a long time.
