He has some sort of Topic Ban, let me check what that is.

@Spice_Weasel issued a Topic Ban:

Everything I have ever said is true but it was presented in an inflammatory way that I deeply regret. This is a completely sincere apology that no one else knows ab…

This was after 2 years of not starting any threads at all.
