So why was Leon497 banned? (Not that I want him back)

[Tom_Scud]

I was planning on pulling together some examples of his high-quality idiocy on pretty much all available topics for a Pit thread, and he turns up BANNED. Sock?

(Wow, looking at his post history he even came up as an anti-vaxxer.)

How do I find out what happened to a missing thread or poster?
If you have a question about a thread or poster who “disappeared,” please DO NOT post an inquiry. In probably 95% of such cases, the thread (or poster) that vanished was an attention-seeker – a spammer , sock, or troll. They’re out for any attention, even negative attention, and we don’t want to give it to them. They disappear, as do their posts. And as do posts about them.

So, if you have a question about such, please email a moderator. DO NOT post your question. DO NOT give these folks any publicity, acknowledgement, or recognition.

In cases of long-term legitimate posters who are banned, we will post an announcement. If you do not see an announcement, please e-mail a moderator; in most cases, the above categories will apply.
