Yes there has, I can point to \*\*Roger Thornhill \*\* & \*\*Excalibre \*\* as examples and I think \*\*Reeder \*\* is another.

Doing an advance search on ATMB for Banned in titles will get many more results.  
This search Id will last a short time, I am not sure how long: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=3114506](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=3114506)  
\*\*According to Pliny \*\* was a surprising one.

Here is a definate confimation: [Charter Member Desmostylus banned](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=318875&highlight=banned)

We generally discourage threads discussing banned members. But, to answer your question (and as others have already mentioned in this thread), yes, we’ve had a small–very small–number of Charter Members banned.
