    Go to the monster section (AKA the MR section) and look at one of his messages, there is a big red "BANNED" next to his name.

    Are you going to have to do one of your Seppuku Self Bans now?

    Is MR a shortened version? Am I missing something? What is the monster section?

    For a commercial site which is already flagging,
    to ban the member who attracts more viewers than any other,
    that is shooting yourself in the foot isn't it?

    No, I won't be self banning this time.

    There seems to have been an issue where people who were temporarily banned at the time of the change in software are now permanently banned.

    It's been raised both here and in the backroom, however, I have no more knowledge than that.

    MR =Magical Realist.
    Banned because he believes in ghosts.
    Specifically, banned because he posts about believing in Ghosts and Monsters on a site which has a Ghosts and Monsters section.
    Despite the site having a section for Ghosts and Monsters, you are only supposed to post scientific facts about them.
    Anything else constitutes "intellectual dishonesty" and "trolling".

    MR = Magical Realist
    Monster Section = 'Ghosts, UFO's & Monsters'-subforum
    It's a software related ERROR.

    Pertinently untrue, as you well know.
    And... this is not the thread to start this up again in.

    Yes, he is currently banned in the sense that the software has him flagged as banned.

    No, he is not banned in the sense that no decision was made (AFAIK) to permanently exclude him from the site. He just had the misfortune of being temporarily banned at the time the software switch was undertaken and it seems that everybody that was temporarily banned before that happened is now permanently banned. Again, AFAIK there was no deliberate decision that this should be the case.

    Sorry for the kind of snappy reply, youreyes.
    The mods didn't remove it; the site owners had it removed (or so I presume). Mods don't have that kind of control over this website.

    Just had a thought here.... It is awful convenient that MR got "caught" in this mysterious "software glitch". Could it be that maybe a cabal of ghosts, aliens and big foots (feet?) fabricated this "glitch" because MR was a little bit to close to the truth? hmmmm
