None whatsoever. Even so, permanently banned is a bit harsh - speaking as the guy who probably had the most spectacular and vitriolic online clashes with him. It's possible the mods are doing him (and us) a favour, this was the wrong place for him, he was out of his depth.

Anyway this is as open and shut as it gets, the guy sucks shit and we all hope he doesn’t come back - I’m more interested in who the hell is jb and why did they get banned?
― coetzee.cx (wins), Thursday, 13 September 2018 09:39 (five years ago) link
Oh right, so he is coming back then, can we permaban him?

always liked the way he'd call the steve hoffman forum 'the retirement home'. we all liked and laughed at that. we made a mental note of it so that we'd definitely know what he was talking about next time.

tho the search engine* teaches me he is not at all a busy poster so i guess he's just gradually been racking up FPs for calling ppl paedos

Turrican will be welcome back after 30 days. It's his first ban.
As wins pointed out, JB logs in every few months to lamely troll, including some very noxious accusations at other posters. Each time he did, he would receive a ton of FPs, but not enough to earn him a 51 before the 6 month time period ran out. This time I was getting ready to delete a batch of his old FPs again and thought about this playing out over and over. It's one of those things where we probably should have banned him long ago over a single instance of assholery that drew a lot of FPs but it kept slipping by us for some reason.

I think he probably racked up a few by repeatedly calling an abuse victim a liar in one of the 184 US politics threads.

That was a week ago, dunno what the last thing that pushed him over the edge was. Fair play hitting 51 in these days of 30 active users.
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Tuesday, 14 April 2020 08:50 (four years ago) link
Turned out he kept going on the Biden thread. Also someone revived one of the Ban Fred threads which probably helped.

"permanently" is what System says when a ban is issued, the mod has evidently made a note immediately afterward
calz was recently crowing about various ilx0rs being made unemployed and saying it should be a permanent situation, and has rarely seemed to hold back one-on-one - was it world leaders or regular people that were being imagined stabbed in this instance?
― Steppin' RZA (sic), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:35 (three years ago) link
Really, where was the unemployed stuff?
― let them microwave their rice (gyac), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:51 (three years ago) link
I must have missed that, too. Calz didn't pull punches but iirc The Man was always the enemy, not other users of the board.
Mod(s) owe an explanation to why now, because of what posts imo.
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:57 (three years ago) link
Talking about members of the music press on various threads, including at least one specific ex-ilx0r by name.
Mod(s) owe an explanation to why now
obv I'm curious too, but I don't reckon mods owe us anything, and it's not hard to imagine calzine rhetoric being deemed "heated" in any given exchange. his baseline is splenetic enough when you agree with his principles or specifics and are familiar enough to know he means well - imagine just wandering into a thread when he's in full flight
