Banned outright for continued disrespect and hostile attitude toward other posters.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised.

Is this a perma-ban or a temporal ban until he gets his shit together?

[Selena]

Perma. He already had a temp ban.

[TheAvengerLever]

Okay.

Legitimate question #2

So when I reference a temporal ban, I'm not talking about a suspension, though I was referencing it on my first post.

What constitutes a perma ban and is a person able to get around it by proving that they have indeed grown up?

If this was a dumb question ignore it.

Suspension and temp ban are mostly used interchangeably - they're pretty much the same thing. You could argue that "suspensions" only last for about week while "temp bans" might last a little longer. But still, pretty much the same thing.

Perma-bans are most often used for the following (but not limited to these - depends on situation):

1) Spambots
2) People who have had a temp ban and repeat the exact same mistakes.
3) People who make extremely flame-worthy posts (death threats, spamming the forum to make fun of one poster, etc.) or put up very bad NSFW stuff.
4) People who flame admins/moderators after they're told to shape up for whatever reason.
5) People who make two accounts, especially with the intent of fooling people maliciously or sneaking into two dorms.
6) A banned member sneaking back on the forums with a new account.

You do not generally get a second chance after being perma-banned.

I see, thanks.

Honestly, he lasted longer than I ever thought he would. What was the straw that broke the camel's back?

EDIT: ok. Just read the thread. I feel bad for Toan though. Think you can unban him real quick to let Toan have a go? Maybe promote me to Admin level and let me have one too? PLEASE??

Contro, the Obama administration troops thread that's recently closed.

I remember thinking that when NM87 last posted here, he was somehow able to walk the line between valid opinion and jackass. But the moment he came to the board with the Spirit Tracks announcement, he just decided to all-out insult everybody without even bothing to validate himself. There was nothing substantial even beneath all the crap he was saying.

[TheAvengerLever]

None of that, now.

Portman vs Knightley, the Obama administration troops thread that's recently closed.

Fix'd.

Wow...after reading a few of his posts, I was kinda expecting this.
