Yup!
For the few days immediately before this Belldandy had mainly quoted complete messages, adding nothing of his own, and didn't get banned. Crazy old world.

People have been nicking other peoples names for years... I wonder why they only started banning people for it now?

Is it happening 'that' much?

Wrong, actually, he was also banned for the content of the posts he made as well, plus the fact he copid my tagline - negating any argument he simply wanted the name - and to prove his intention was to fool people, he held a conversation with two other users who clearly believed it was me by their reply posts to him. So 'obvious' was it that both Light and Goatboy were fooled, as were others. Plus all the posts IB made were spam in the worst sense - the kind of thing most of you have called for the various incarnations of Game Whiz and countless other newbies/JATS to be banned for.
Seeing as most of the posts IB made were deleted by the time Blank and most other people came on I don't see how Blank fully knows what happened.
It is true I did a few spams in the days before - around 6 - a minor number - and I was warned by Snuggly by email not to do so again, which I haven't.
End of story.
