[Ban announcement](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=871104). Here’s the final warning, presumably the last straw. > [@How bad a scandal for you to \*not\* vote for Trump's 2020 Democratic opponent?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-a-scandal-for-you-to-not-vote-for-trumps-2020-democratic-opponent/829704/36): > > Read the thread title and just started laughing - not even really sure exactly what at. Did not read the thread, sorry. > [@How bad a scandal for you to \*not\* vote for Trump's 2020 Democratic opponent?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-a-scandal-for-you-to-not-vote-for-trumps-2020-democratic-opponent/829704/44): > > That’ll earn you a warning for being a jerk, BennJammin. Don’t do it again. Why is this being a jerk and worth a warning? He said that he found the title of the thread funny. What’s wrong with that? It looks to me like a compliment to the OP. He racked up several warnings in a small number of posts. Banning was probably going to come sooner or later. But I don’t see why this post should give him the push. ---

It also needs to be said that one of the warnings linked to in the announcement is actually only a mod note. ---

Sorry about that. Colibri gave a note and a warning and I clicked the wrong one. I’ve fixed it. As for that last from BeenJammin? I viewed it a bit more negatively. To me, it came across as an effort to demean and derail the thread. Given his track record - he’d received five warnings, some notes and a suspension over his 14 months here - I think my interpretation is the right one. ---

> [@Peter\_Morris](#): > > Why is this being a jerk and worth a warning? He said that he found the title of the thread funny. What’s wrong with that? It looks to me like a compliment to the OP. It quite obviously not a compliment. It was a threadshit at the very least, indicating he thought the subject too stupid for him to even read it. ---

He’s gotta have something more clever than that like BeenDrinkin. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > Investigation suggests the similarity is coincidental, and the poster and posts have been restored. Coincidences do happen, but this one seems profoundly unlikely. Even if it’s not a direct sock of the original poster, it could be someone else’s sock in order to play some dumb troll/sock game. ---
