Poster @Zoobi is suspended for one week, effective today. They have a pattern of making personal attacks and insults outside of the Pit. Most recently in P&E:

> [@Donald Trump says he is going to give an address on prime time tv on December 17, 2025. Are you going to watch to see what he says?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trump-says-he-is-going-to-give-an-address-on-prime-time-tv-on-december-17-2025-are-you-going-to-watch-to-see-what-he-says/1025766/54):
>
> Moderating: This is clearly attacking the Poster, NOT the post. I also note that you just had another official Warning for this same behavior in August of this year and other mod notes for the same. As such, this is a another Warning for the same/similar issue and your third in just over a year. As such, I’m giving you a one day suspension as your posting privilege will be discussed in the modloop.

This is the _third_ Official Warning in _five months_ for the same/similar offense. The two priors:

> [@Must you read/watch something to have an opinion about it?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/must-you-read-watch-something-to-have-an-opinion-about-it/1021296/82):
>
> Warning for yet another insulting post outside of the Pit. You’ve been modnoted for this and still keep doing this. Stop attacking posters outside of the Pit. Next one will probably elevate to a Mod Loop discussion.

> [@Intersectionality and the Oppression Pyramid](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intersectionality-and-the-oppression-pyramid/1018016/296):
>
> Warning for insulting @DemonTree, a little indirect, but still a straight up insult was checked. Don’t do this again.

As well as mod notes for personal attacks outside the Pit.

During discussion in the ModLoop, we have decided to give @zoobi a one week suspension to let them reconsider their habit and how seriously we’re taking these attacks. Upon return, Zoobi is instructed to avoid any sort of personal attacks outside the Pit. If such behavior continues, it will almost certainly result in ban.
