I was just looking in the top posters list and I saw two Insane Bartenders, both banned. Odd.
Can anyone tell me why he was banned, and wasn't he a notable at some time too? Tell me the full story. Please.

Its been a while since I last used these chatforums regulary, but when I did IB was once of the most interesting and funniest posters on the board - Whatever the reason, it seems a shame he was banned
More Special Reserve's loss than his I'll wager?

Nope, they weren't. I came on at various points during the day. I was reading the posts before IB got banned. Just because I didn't post doesn't mean I didn't read them.
It was obvious *to me* that it wasn't you, I just didn't know it was IB.

IB was banned fo displaying the sense of humour he was reported not to have.
Aye, he came back though with that auto-translated spanish name, didn't he?
IB did a funny.
Somebody didn't think it was funny and complained.
Somebody else thought it was hilarious that somebody complained and decided to complain too, but then forget why he complained and went back to posting on another site that's more fun than this one.
That's about the size. Where you put the eyes.

Of it.

Fair enough.
So we don't punish mass spamming anymore, he made like 50+ posts of crap.
But still the banning was a bit harsh.
It was only a joke.

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.
