Why was this user banned? thread.

I’ve strolled through the forum and saw a few banned members. I then think, “Why was he banned?” I don’t see anything that would get them banned in their posts. So just think up a banned member and then say why. I am just curious. 🙂

KILLOFFPOE was banned apparently. Haven’t figured out why yet.

you haven’t figured out why?

Wummary, I guess?

He was complaining about TLJ, and said Disney’s new films are as bad at world building as the Prequels were at storytelling, but I didn’t notice the specifically bannable offense.

Maybe he just needed to cool off? But that wasn’t made clear.

Wasn’t there also something about them unethically obtaining a print?

It has come to our attention that some of the recent screen shots posted by Team Negative1 are from a scan of a print that has been obtained by unethical means without the owner’s knowledge or consent. The administration of originaltrilogy.com would like to make it clear that this behavior is totally unacceptable and has no place in our preservation community. We have therefore decided to ban the Team Negative1 account permanently.

That would be pointless. We’d just discuss it another thread if that happened.

Yep. Which is why I asked about KILLOFFPOE in here rather than derail the TLJ Review thread.

Then they will lock that thread too. They locked the banned thread, they obviously do not want threads of this nature.

No, just those where we discuss bannings.

If they locked this thread, we’d probably discuss bannings in the Random Thoughts thread is my thinking.

I guess the other thread went a bit too far with the Frink case, but I don’t see threads of this nature as harmful to the community. IMO it’s actually good to have this thread, so that it’s clear for the other unbanned members what type of behavior will get you banned.

“They” did not lock the thread. Jay locked it. Jay is not SW or jason. This thread would only be locked if we carried on and on about whether it was fair or warranted for certain people being banned. Simply clearing up the circumstances is not against the rules.

And in fact, Jay said the Banned Members thread could be used by mods to explain why members were banned; they just haven’t followed through on actually doing that. Duplicate threads might annoy Frink, but the mods don’t seem relatively bothered by it.

Similarly, we have two Bitching threads and while one was (and is) locked, the other is not.
