Average Post Count of Banned Users?

Factual Questions

Ok, not sure how we minions could answer this, but:

What is the post count of your average banned poster?

Maybe someone has this info handy – I’m guessing that recently this has gone up a couple of clicks.

I was thinking of asking the mods to change by username to “BANNED” in the hope that it would confuse them should they ever come to pull the rug from under me.

Ha! I am the king of GQs that drop like dropping things on a particularly high gravity day!

Talking of which, if you think about it, when the sun is overhead its gravitational pull tends to cancel out some of the earth’s, and at night when it’s on the opposite side it tends to add to it – therfore things are heavier at night!

Taken to it’s logical conclusion, by transporting things up hill during the day, and letting them fall at night we can generate a source of free energy.

That is my idea, DON’T go around claiming it’s yours.

There’s really no way to find out, except for a board administrator to go into the vBulletin administration pages, and get a list of all the users in the BANNED usergroup.

Even then, the numbers would be meaningless. handy had a five digit post count, while drive-by spammers will have just one post to their names. Banned users seem to fall into four categories:

  • Drive-by spammers; one post and they’re gone.
  • Sockpuppets; again, after a few posts they’re BANNED.
  • Trollers; they usually rack up double digit post counts before they’re gone.
  • High profile users like handy and December, who have been warned about board rules, but continue to violate them. You’re often looki

The median post count of a banned user would probably be three or four posts. The average would probably be … well, much, much higher, thanks to the recent banning of some prolific posters.

Ha! - it’s the idea behind the tidal barrier generator thingy that IIRC is going to be built, er, somewhere in the UK .The French have one, er, somewhere (in France I’m guessing, probably on the coast, but those guys can be sneaky…) - easier than schlepping rocks up and down mountains.

Whilst we’re on the subject, what happened to Collounsbury? I did search but I couldn’t find the relevant post. I suspect it was an Iraq matter, but that’s a guess.
