The staff has decided to ban **ivan astikov**. He’s received three warning this week and five since this spring. (He received a few other warnings after signing up in 2008.) Those are on top of a general pattern of being a jerk and trolling, and ignoring staff instructions. These are the recent warnings:

There was another warning in July for personal insults in a private message.
