What does someone have to do to get barred for good?

[Eve]

eg if they persist in posting offensive questions and replies?

[ELVIS68]

It won`t work, they`ll only come back as a russian

[malibu-sioux]

or their OPINION?

[Briar_x]

but if your opinion is one that you know is going to be offensive to some people surely this is then not the forum to air that opinion. This is for questions and to ask a deliberately inflamatory 'question' such as the ones that have recently been asked is not why the site is here, surely? Or have I got it all wrong (again?) ?

It is not the purpose of the Editor or Crystal guides to actively ban any members as that is a negative response, they do however ensure that the offender's ability to post is removed on a temporary basis , this is engineered by placing the person under house arrest in the first instance and disconnecting them from the Internet and should further instances occur, the offending member is removed to the AB monastery dungeons and made to read thoroughly all posts by the Russian with a view to a get-out-of-gaol type quizz at the end of the term of imprisonment, all editorial decisions are final.

The offender is confined to quizzes & puzzles for two weeks in the Marlboro season.

if you want to get banned very quickly, cussing the Ed is an admirable shortcut. You'll be out the window before you've even come in the door.

I was unable to read any posts by Russian, because they didn't allow me a light bulb...I tried etching a callendar on the wall, but couldn't remember which wall I had started at...To this day, I now sleep with the light on - such is the mark it has left on me...

You have been warned Lol ☺
