I was just reading an old GD thread started by Wildest Bill and it says under his name BANNED instead of member.
I always thought that he was a bit wild but what specifically did he do to get kicked off?
FWIW, I think the mods prefer “Why did [INSERT NAME OF LATEST BANDEE] get banned?” threads to be in the pit.
Er, I think that actually the mods prefer that all questions about “why was so-and-so banned?” be confined to e-mail, as in “e-mail a mod and ask”.
It just picks at the scabs, you know? 
Um… If they are that uptight, then why is the thread linked to into its third page and not locked?
Maybe it’s more like rubbing your funnybone than picking a scab.
Whoever said they were uptight? It’s just that rampant gossip is discouraged.
