    What does "banned" mean when it appears under your user-name on a thread?

    Re: Banned

    It means that the user has broken the forum rules (usually they have been spamming) and are no longer allowed to post.

          You really have to do something that is clearly SPAM to get banned. As the site becomes more popular, more and more people come and put pyramid and other such schemes into the forums - that will get them banned right away. Also if it is clear that the only reason they posted was to promote their site and have no intention of being a contributing member to the site.

              Good that you're on top of things Jeffrey. Have you ever considered having moderators to look after the place when you sleep (assuming you do sleep )

                Yes, there are a group of very helpful moderators that clean up SPAM posts. The forums wouldn't be near as nice if they weren't around to help and I'm extremely grateful for their help.

                      Hmmmm, a very good question. Let's say I'm getting a bit better at sleeping now that site has matured a bit - but as anyone know who has a website, sleep is one of those things that comes few and far between. It's kinf of like being a medical resident with no guarantee you'll make lots of money or that the residency will ever end
