The Lone Centurion has been banned from this forum. As the final reason for the ban was due to PMs, and thus the ban message is not publicly viewable, I have provided it below for the purposes of openness between the moderation staff and the community.

I and the other moderators of the Sea Lion Press Forums have received reports of your harassment of several members through unsolicited and unwelcome personal messages including very questionable content indeed. This incident follows repeated infractions against this community’s rules, for which you have racked up a long series of actions in the form of warnings and kicks.

The last time I addressed you regarding these infractions, I told you that you were on your last chance.

That chance has now expired.

You are permanently banned, with immediate effect, from the SLP Forums community.

Given the circumstances, I would like to make a request that no member of the forum like this post. Any user who has questions or objections regarding this action may PM me or the other moderators, or Meadow, for any clarifications.

The Lone Centurion will be added to the bans above with a link to this public ban post.

Thank you.

Following lengthy discussion amongst the moderator team, Hendryk's kick has been made permanent. The reason is that the action of creating and keeping dossiers on fellow members and circulating such to the moderators or administrator with the express intent of getting them banned is incompatible with maintaining an environment where people do not feel pressured or harassed, regardless of whether they themselves are victims of such behaviour.

Although this specific method of destroying the civil environment was not highlighted previously, it falls within a category of unacceptable behaviour.

As with the post above, please do not like this post, and any user who has questions or objections with regards to this action should PM me, one of the other moderators, or Meadow.

On appeal, Hendryk’s ban has been confined to The Pub. He will not be able to see anyone’s posts there. He will be welcome to contribute to the other sections of the site.

Follow discussions and after two more attempts to register sockpuppets, it has been decided to make the ban on RQ7y7 and their sockpuppet Portcullis permanent. The original kick was imposed for uncivil behaviour by Portcullis but it quickly became clear that they were just a sockpuppet account.

As with the post above, please do not like this post, and any user who has questions or objections with regards to this action should PM me, one of the other moderators, or Meadow.

Following an email exchange regarding how they felt they would be unready to participate properly in the SLP community for some years, King of Wessex's kick has been extended until February 2023.

 

[Redolegna]

Following a repeated pattern of insulting and uncivil behaviour towards other members by Archibald, the decision has been taken to ban him.

As usual, please refrain from liking this post.

CaliGuy has been banned after posting yet another link to a "race realism" site after having been specificially asked to desist from this.

As usual, please refrain from liking this post.

Heavy has now been banned for breaching the rules laid upon him and posting in the US Politics Thread.

As usual, please refrain from liking this post.
