You can't self-ban, but there are ways around that.
Poor old Swannybongo. Ironically, he was only just boasting about how he wouldn't be banned, but Truthseeker would be.
Who knows? He was going a bit nuts on that thread, I guess (and hope) it's only a temporary ban, I don't think he's done enough to get a permanent canning. He can be a bit nasty at times, but most people seem to enjoy rowing with him - I certainly do. It would be funny, given his obsession with multi-nics and resurrected members, if he had to come back under a new name
.
Seriously though, I hope he's not banned for good. First, whatever his faults, he is a bit of a character, and that's almost always good all round - for the members, the site owners, the advertisers, everybody. Secondly, his bark is almost certainly worse than his bite, and a few acerbic comments aside I bet he's not a bad old stick in real life. Thirdly, he contributes a lot to this site and seems to enjoy it. Enthusiastic members tend to be good whether you like them or not.
Finally, he's posted some much crap it would be a shame to see his slate wiped clean (only kidding Swanny
).
