I have never seen a post of a banning. I always click on “New Posts” to review the MB.
If it’s an established poster, there is usually an announcement posted as a locked thread in this forum. If it is just a sock or a spammer, they get disappeared without comment.
Notices are usually posted in this forum unless it’s a sock/troll and then they are just silently given the banhammer.
I assume the priest makes an announcement after the service.
Actually, usually they make the announcements for the three weeks prior to the ceremony.
That’s because there are only a handful of bannings of established posters each year, and these are the only ones that are announced. We don’t announce bannings of spammers, socks, and short-term trolls. These (especially spammers) are the vast majority of bannings.
If you want to find announcements of bannings, you can do a search for “banned” in thread titles in ATMB.
Either that or look in the back of the weekly bulletin, there’s usually a recap next to the CCW meeting schedule.
Do you really want to find out?
BTW, you haven’t seen the move “Vanished”, have you?
Fish wrapped in a newspaper.
Horse heads are a bit scare if you’re in Europe right now, except at your local grocer.
We have discussed displaying their heads on pikes on the walls, but decided it didn’t go with the rest of the decor.
Would that be a christopher pike ?
Currently, to see the last banning announcement, you would have to go to the ABTM forum, scroll down to right under where all the threads are displayed, select “Last 2 Weeks” in the “From The” pulldown menu, then click “Show Threads”.
Listed there, you’ll see FrankJBN’s banning from 03/08. If you wanted to look back further for other recent bannings, you’d have to select a longer “From The” time-frame.
I heard they all get together and do some weird shit at banned camp.
Marley, however, does maintain athrone of skulls composed of the crania of the 285,732 spammers he has banned to date.
I assume Tamerlane helped with this project?
Generally I (one of the masses) find out when I notice BANNED under some posters name…generally some poster who I’m militantly unsurprised to see that tag under their name for. 
I think the only time I noticed someone get banned in this forum was when DTC got banned…I saw the thread pop up here from the home page and was like ‘really??’ and came in here to check it out. Mind, I wasn’t particularly surprised he got banned, but it was still a bit of a shock to see a long time poster like that go down.

– Serious round of applause for the heavy lifting on Search. Thank you !!! –
Not that hard:
-
Set the forum to show all threads from the beginning.
-
Use Pagination Firefox plug in to put all the pages into one long webpage.
-
Used Firefox search for the word ‘banned’
-
Dragged the thread title from one FF window into the message box of a second window.
Done.
There were almost as many threads asking “Why was X banned” and “Can we have a list off all the banned users?”
