The staff has decided to ban **pchaos** because of repeated warnings and other misbehavior. There has been a ton of speculation about **pchaos** ’s claim that he is a lawyer, and the staff doesn’t take a position on that because it’s not the point: whatever job he might have off the board, his behavior has gotten worse over his two months on the board. He has three formal warnings in a little more than a week and an increasing percentage of his posts appear to be trolling.

[First warning](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15998256#post15998256) and [second warning](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15998736#post15998736) for ignoring moderator instructions. [Warning for trolling](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16022489#post16022489) followed by other posts that look a lot like trolling: [hilarious legal ignorance from a poster who purports to be a lawyer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16027862#post16027862) ([earlier example here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16003756#post16003756)), [and here he opens a Pit thread to complain that he’s being Pitted too much](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=683060).
