E-mailing a moderator is the best way to handle this question, as it invites people to name names, which is not a good thing on various levels. Their e-mail address can be found at the top of the Forum page.

A lot. But the number of usernames exceeds the number of actual _people_ that got banned.

Ballpark figures:  
People who got banned: somewhere between 30 and 50, I’d say.  
User names that have gotten banned: some 300, roughly.

I’ll close this thread now, as this sort of thread usually attracts the wrong crowd.
