Not any more
Either he's removed himself or he's been kicked out.

Point of order: has anyone actually ever been banned from b3ta?

Didn't Manley get banned?

So it is.
My mistake - didn't realise it was that far back.

People get banned quite often don't they?
Spammers usually get their accounts deleted, and I think there was some kerfuffle over on /talk a few months back where a regular (and by most accounts fucked-up liar) got the hoof.

Spammers don't count.
I never go on /talk so it could happen quite frequently there for all I know.

Wowo.
You know it's serious when people stop using "b&" and "use the ban hammer!"

The Ban Hammer
is lightly wielded by the mods but is is used on a regular basis - mainly in links for blatant spamming

A noob is more likely to be banned than a regular. For a regular, you're more likely to be nawty-stepped and warned before banning.

but there are some sorts of behaviour where the hammer will come crashing down without warning.

Who would you ban, Legless?

There was someone on /talk ages ago called Bou, who caused the entirety of South Africa to be IP blocked.
She started stalking people and phoning their employers and generally being a massive lunatic. We've had quite a few folk permabanned over there.
