That is the first banned member that I have come across on this forum, does it happen often??
Actually, there are about 936 on the banned list. Many never get to posting as they are caught during the registration process. We have access to an internet database where forum admins input information on kown spammers - new registrations are checked against that sites list.
Colin,
There have been a few ... mostly those who continue to think that the forum rules do not apply to them, especially after repeated warnings from the forum staff.
Bottom line is that we do try everything else in the world before issuing that kind of punitive action. As a last ditch effort, we might issue a temporary ban for a week or two - in hopes that the offender will mend their ways. Most do, after seeing that we mean what we say. Those who don't ... well ... they can't say that they weren't properly warned.
Spammers, however, get the permanent boot right away - we have a zero tolerance for spammers on this site.
