**HoneyBadgerDC** suspended 1 week until Feb 11, 2024 11:59 pm for violating Topic Ban.  
He has had 4 warnings in just over 6 months. The latest for violating his Topic ban on Climate Change.

I’m going to make this clear that he is not to try work arounds about CO2 or anything else related. He must stay away from Climate Change as a subject.

The Topic ban is from here:

> @HoneyBadgerDC Please note, this is being upped to a Warning. You are ignoring both P&E rules. You have dropped Anthropogenic climate change is various threads. Even claimed there is no such thing as a climate scientist. You will not disrupt any more threads with this nonsense. You are not to post any further in this thread. Avoid Climate Denial posts or next will begin the suspensions. I hope this is clear enough.

The violation starts here, where he appears to be trying to approach the subject from the side and is yet again posting gross misinformation.

Man can only attempt to keep that in balance for so long.

I made the mistake of allowing that post at first but then he kept going.

**Warning was issued here:**

> Warning for HoneyBadgerDC As the third flagger put it: “Humans absolutely need to spew carbon dioxide to save the planet” definitely counts as climate change misinformation. Nobody would be spreading that lie, if not for the fact that they want to score points on the climate change debate. Seeing your additional replies, I agree. We will probably bump this up to the Modloop to talk about a suspension for you trying to work around your topic ban and hijack yet another thread with misinformat…

The fact he was trying to bypass his ban and hijacked the thread (and with a link that did not match his post but stood by it) lead to a Modloop discussion and a 1 week suspension.

He is a poster that can be interesting and informative at times, but his actions mean he is nearing banning and he needs to be careful to stay well away from his topic ban and avoid hijacking threads.

Please do better @HoneyBadgerDC, I look forward to your DIY related posts.
