Moderating:

After discussion in the mod loop, we’ve decided to permanently revoke @Chingon’s posting privileges. This is based on the following formal warnings, together with numerous mod notes.

Warning from @Aspenglow, October 2024, for personal attacks and failure to abide by prior moderator instructions, with 2-day temporary suspension:

> [@Have you canceled your Amazon Prime or Washington Post subscription?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-canceled-your-amazon-prime-or-washington-post-subscription/1009307/82):
>
> But what if Musk made one? Then I’m sure you’d trust it.

Warning from @engineer_comp_geek, June 2023, for insults and threadshitting, with a 30-day temporary suspension:

> [@This "safe HCl" is a scam, right? \[Update - Not scam. See responses from manufacturer at posts 88 and 93\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-safe-hcl-is-a-scam-right-update-not-scam-see-responses-from-manufacturer-at-posts-88-and-93/985723/100):

>
> Moderating: As is This is IMHO. It’s not the pit. It’s not appropriate to attack other posters. Comment on the content, not on the commentator. This is the last mod note. Any further personal attacks will get formal warning, thread closures, or other stronger actions. (I need to review the recent activity. We may already be at the point of warnings, etc.)

Warning from @Chronos, October 2022, for threadshitting:

> [@Maya Rudolph insulted by Letterman?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/maya-rudolph-insulted-by-letterman/973967/34):

> Now this thread can be the virtue signaling fest it was set up to be. Be loud, be proud, tell us how much you have no idea who Maya Rudolph is. I bet most of you don’t even own a TV.

Warning from @Chronos, March 2022, for personal attacks:

> [@Opinion: Lia Thomas shouldn’t swim in the Womens team](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/opinion-lia-thomas-shouldn-t-swim-in-the-womens-team/960437/56):

Warning from @puzzlegal, June 2021, for arguing moderation:

> [@Virtue signaling? Cowardice? Or other (race relations topic)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virtue-signaling-cowardice-or-other-race-relations-topic/943821/46):

> We know that there was a woman who was: Sitting in a chair A chair that was labeled “don’t sit here” Black And based on this information, it’s a valid concern that this women is going to play “the race card”? What part of this other than she’s Black would lead one to this conclusion?

Warning from @Chronos, July 2020, for personal insults:

>
> That’s enough, Chingon. That’ll earn you a warning. Please don’t do it again.

Warning from @Bone, March 2019, for implying sexual gratification:

> [@What advantages would blue America have in a civil war?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-advantages-would-blue-america-have-in-a-civil-war/830384/103):
>
> Do not imply others get sexual gratification in this fashion. This is a warning. [/moderating]

As indicated by the posts above, this is a protracted course of conduct we seem unable to influence in a positive way despite many attempts. For these reasons, we impose a permanent ban on @Chingon.
