This thread is for the discussion of banned members. Sometimes people get banned and members want to know why. This is the place to ask if you must.

gprescueSRQ/ sims.shawna both banned. Despite numerous requests by the admin of this site she failed to explain why she has multiple user names.

would it have mattered if she had explained or not? She seemed like a nice person.

Yes, it would have made a difference. An explaination would probably have resolved the issue and she would still be a member. Ignoring my repeated requests for an explaination just shows me that someone has no regard for the rules of the site and may be trying to stir up some sort of trouble. I insured that this member had logged onto the site many times after I sent my last request which told me she had seen them. She even posted after a couple of my requests.

Other members have started multiple names for various reasons and, after an explaination, they are still members. Ignoring the issue will get someone banned though.

Edit to add - When GPRescueSRQ rejoined to make her 2 posts she created not just one more name, but 2, That makes 4 usernames in all that she has created.

CavyFreak - Did I forget to mention that you are banned too? If in case you forgot your original username was piggienut You were banned for being rather troll-like, calling names and not playing nice in general. Now you are back out the door.

Banned cavyfreak. He was originally Piggienut he actually started a new account and started questioning why a different member was banned. Like I said, I don't need to read PMs to find the troublemakers. They usually stand up on a chair, jump up and down while waving their arms and yelling. They announce themselves.

45 people have been banned on this site. The basic breakdown as to why is as follows.

17 - multiple user names/rejoining after being banned/excess usernames banned after explaination was given (person was allowed to remain on the forum with one name)
16 - spammers
9 - repeated failure to abide by the forum rules
3 - trolling

While we are on the subject Piggieluver101 you had better explain to me why you also have 2 usernames. You can PM me your reply.

Anyone else out there that has more then one username, active or not, had better PM me. This is getting tiring and my fuse is getting short. If I have to chase you down I am much less likely to accept an explaination.
