Is there something in the forum policies about making lots of posts that are 90% links to other sites?

It is certainly bordering on spam...

Heavenlybody has been banned for one month for insulting behaviour, ignoring warnings from me, and for not sticking to the subject.

Rocky has been banned for one month (30 days) for repeatedly taking threads off-topic and ignoring warnings not to do so.

I'm stunned.

Stunned because I showed enough restraint to only give him a one month ban?

Pretty much. Of course, when/if he comes back, he's going to go on about how we wronged him and how the only way we defeated him was silencing him. There are some types you can't do much with.

Actually, I think I like the idea of one month bans. It's like being told to stand in the corner.
"Okay, HB, you get a time out for being naughty. You can come out when you're ready to play nice."

Unfortunately I think banning him for a month is exactly what Rocky wants. He wants to feel like he's being persecuted for his views. The fact that he is being banned for "taking threads off-topic" will completely fly over his head. In his view he will be vindicated by this ban "they can't defeat me except by picking up their toys and going away." If he does return he will be more obnoxious than ever.

He can believe whatever he wants (he already does that anyway... he never lets "facts" get in the way of a good story).

I think we tend to coddle these people too much. Let them go rant and rave about being persecuted. The only people who are going to believe their nonsense is their own ilk, so what harm is done? Let them crawl back into whatever hole they came from and talk among themselves about how evil we are; it won’t change the balance one iota.

Yeah, but a month is a long time to go without kitty toys.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rocky make a topic that calls his banning a "pretty low tactic".
He needs to grow up and learn how to follow instuctions. If the admin says "don't go off topic", then don't go off topic. How hard can it be to stick to one subject?
