Oppressive and Obscene Threads
DanQ has rightly put a stop on an obscene thread. Sad individuals posting this stuff should be permanently barred from the forum(in my opinion) Is this possible.

There is a pretty good answer to that in the FAQ section (click on the faq link just above the thread topic)
quote:
XII) What can't I post?
Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming, advertisements are an abuse of your priviledge to post and can result to a penalty
XVI) Which are the penalties?
The administrators have the choice of a simple warning, to a disablement of someone's login(allowing to read, not allowing to post) for a short or infinite period, to baning any access to the site for a short or infinite period. The administrators may ask from the members to decide on the kind of penalty in a certain case, but they are not obligated to. (added with v.1.5, 7/August/99) The third time someone loses his ability to post for something on the forums will be the last (the disablement will be permanent). In more serious circumstances, the first disablement could also be permanent.
So yes, its possible.Insert witty phrase here -
Unfortunately, some people just like to cause trouble.

Barington, et al.:
Somgu is nothing more than a piece of living crap. Yeah, it's harsh. But the little freak deserves nothing more for posting such pornographic stuff at Apolyton. I'm no prude, but the last thing I expected to see at Apolyton was a thread of that nature.

I wouldn't call it pornographic, just tasteless (and humourless).

You're right - it's not porn - it's simply offensive. I'm with smash on this Somgu / Austin the Iron Fisted has brought nothing of value to these fora and should be encouraged to leave - I assume he is on vacation at the moment?
