Baldwin has been suspended for one month after receiving four warnings for personal insults, linking to other boards and ignoring mod instructions.
Warning here for insults in ATMB.
Mod Note: SkipMagic here told Baldwin to stop posting these links. But he did it again here.
A third time here, in MPSIMS. And after being advised to drop this hijack, he insisted on keeping it going.
Quoting from the board rules: “Do not post spam, including but not limited to advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitations, offers to trade or barter, charitable appeals, or other messages primarily intended to promote a cause, venture, organization, event (except Straight Dope-related events), website, or other entity or activity, whether or not money is involved.” Separately, “You agree to abide by the wishes of the board moderators in interpreting and enforcing these rules. Refusal to cooperate with board moderators or to abide by these rules is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges.”
I’d like to make it clear there that it is NOT generally against SDMB rules to mention other boards, by name or otherwise. However if we ask you to stop linking to another site, you’re expected to do so. (Posters are free to dispute our decisions but ignoring them repeatedly will usually result in warnings or a suspension.)
