Moderating: After lengthy discussion in the mod loop, we’ve decided to permanently revoke @UltraVires’s posting privileges. This is based on the following formal warnings, together with numerous mod notes. Warning from @puzzlegal in April 2021 for taking political potshots in an MPSIMS thread. > [@Breaking News: U.S. Capitol building on lockdown \[Attempt to drive car into\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-news-u-s-capitol-building-on-lockdown-attempt-to-drive-car-into/939248/24): > > Political jabs aren’t allowed in MPSIMS breaking news threads. And there’s already been a mod note about that in this thread. That’s a warning. And please stay out of this thread. Warning and one-day suspension from @What_Exit in April 2021 for trolling in P&E. > [@Matt Gaetz being investigated for sex with 17 year old girl (DOJ declines to charge 2023-02-15)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/matt-gaetz-being-investigated-for-sex-with-17-year-old-girl/939052/153): > > Warning and 1 day suspension for UltraVires This is pretty much trolling. Combined with the your recent warning and other activity of late I am suspending you for a day while bumping this up to the mod loop. I’ll be adding more to this post later. Thread will reopen shortly. ETA: [Warning this morning](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-news-u-s-capitol-building-on-lockdown-attempt-to-drive-car-into/939248/24) for [Breaking News Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-news-u-s-capitol-building-on-lockdown-attempt-to-drive-car-into/939248/19) and lighter trolling in ATMB & [GD](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-it-constitutional-to-give-black-and-indigenous-people-vaccine-priority/939246/34). I should also make it clear, this line “so I would appreciate holding off on the personal attack.” played by the troll before a pers… Warning from @What_Exit on April 24, 2022, for thread derailment with straw man arguments in GD. > [@14th Amendment - Section 3: Can it apply to someone running for president?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/14th-amendment-section-3-can-it-apply-to-someone-running-for-president/963182/47): > > Warning for derailing the thread with this post. You know not to do this but persist in bringing up unrelated strawmen into threads in GD and P&E. Stop doing this. Warning and one-day suspension from @Aspenglow on November 2, 2022, earlier in this thread for violating our rule against sexualizing posters and their arguments. This warning could just as readily have been given for raising another straw man argument that resulted in a thread derailment, because no one in the thread had in any way indicated they would be gratified at the idea of Trump being raped in prison. Further, a warning could have been given for the successful thread derailment. The thread was about whether Trump will be indicted, not whether anyone would feel pleasure if Trump is raped in prison. > [@Does Trump get indicted?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-trump-get-indicted/974085/63): > > Moderating: (Emphasis mine.) The above clearly violates our rules; specifically, this one: For this specific violation, we are issuing a formal Warning and suspending your posting privileges for one day. Your continuing privileges to post on this message board are under review in the mod loop due to your consistent inability to follow moderator instructions re hijacking and violating board rules. This is a protracted course of conduct we seem unable to influence in a positive way despite many attempts. For these reasons, this permanent ban is imposed. ---
