Utter nonsense, I posted the message in the general discussion thread in a debate as to whether electrocution causes pain, A debate that I would have allowed if you hadn't included the images. The images were not necessary for the debate. So? There are all sorts of gruesome and disgusting images online, that doesn't mean that we have to allow them here. The fact that there are cocaine users on the streets doesn't mean I should be required to invite them into my home, so why should I be forced to allow disgusting images in this forum? Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the definitions of vulgar and obscene. You won't get any arguments in favour of execution from me, but what the State of Florida allows is irrelevant to why I removed your thread. I'm only concerned with what Proboards allows and what I want to allow in this forum. That's fine... if people WANT to see those images they can look for them, but I'm not allowing images like that here. You gave people no warning about the nature of those images, you more or less forced them to look at something they may not have wanted to see. You posted them for their shock value and nothing more. You could have linked to the website that contained the images with a warning about their nature, instead you chose to post the images directly into the forum without a warning. Now, as you know this forum has a rule against people re-registering after being banned. So ghost has been added to the banned list. |

Wow. Nothing at all for four months, then 1% of the membership bites the dust all on one day. Quite a blood bath there  Edit - ghost's profile doesn't list him as banned. Does it not say "banned" until that person logs back in and gets the bad news? |

Since margamatix and ghost are the same person I think it only counts as one ban.  I have to add that title myself... just haven't gotten around to it yet. |

I'm not sure of the exact status, but taking and publishing photographs of executions is on fairly dodgy legal ground: unlawful in a lot of places, if not necessarily Florida.

richardnixon has been banned, it was just another alias of Margamatix (same email address and IP address).

Wow, he's persistent, isn't he?
I guess he wants to say he was banned from here three times - that makes him triple the martyr in his sick world, I guess.

Trident - banned for spamming (over 90 identical threads in an hour), rude behaviour (insults and swearing), and attempting to disrupt the forum.
Tropicalbreeze - rude behaviour (insults and swearing).
Both bans are permanent.
Trident and Tropicalbreeze claimed to believe that the moon landings were real and apparently believed this was a pro-hoax theory forum. They are examples of how we should not respond to the hoax believers.

Seems pretty clear to me...  They claimed to be Apollo supporters and were trying to disrupt this forum so that hoax believers wouldn't be able to use it. |

Yes, that's correct. They were very childishly and rudely attacking the HBs in a way inappropriate for this forum. |

One of them (Trident) repeatedly posted the same post filled with rude lanquage which quickly filled up the first 4 pages of the hoax forum. The other (tropicalbreeze) obviously knew the first from the few intelligible posts he made. Most of his posts were just offensive language.
