Magellan01 is Banned for Trolling

magellan01 had returned after over 4 years to Troll. Especially in the “hijack the thread” and “Just Asking Questions” type of trolling. Added bonus, then bothering the Moderators who modnoted or warned him with more JAQing via PM.

This is after 12 warnings in the past from 5 different moderators. 10 for “Personal Insults” & 1 each for “Being a Jerk” and “Failure to Follow Moderator’s Instructions”.

With his history and his brief sampling of posting since his return, we are banning him for trolling. Note: you can sincerely hold a belief and still troll. We see it too often in fact.

by mostly nitpicking over the word “lied” and generally debating in a way that is considered trolling. Given his time away, he was advised via a modnote.

He then tried to continue the “debate” via PM with @Aspenglow, @raventhief and myself. I told him pretty plainly his style of debate was no longer tolerated since the 2020 rule changes and gave him the link. He indicated he read them but then trolled another thread instead.
