User [D\_Anconia](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/d_anconia) or D’Anconia has been banned. He has had 4 warnings since July 2021 and 6 more in the 3 years before that. More importantly he has had a pair of 1 week suspensions for trolling, and for hijacking a thread and quoting a user completely out of context. > [@7 day suspension for D\_Anconia for hijacking and quoting user out of context](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/7-day-suspension-for-d-anconia-for-hijacking-and-quoting-user-out-of-context/978055): > > He has been warned for hijacking threads multiple times and did it yet again, but this time by grievously misquoting DrDeth to make his hijacking point. Tax avoidance was not the subject of the thread. And what he cut off to make the quote was from this paragraph. > [@D\_Anconia suspended for 1 week for trolling](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/d-anconia-suspended-for-1-week-for-trolling/957163): > > Suspension of 1 week for D\_Anconia : Your asking for citation and dismissing a range of them as some were twitter is absolutely identical to trolling. A very common trolling technique in fact. This right after the modnote for calling other posters “Dopes”. You’ve been pushing the edge of being a jerk for a long time. It is not be tolerated. When you return be less of a jerk please. **Warnings** : > [@America needs Emancipation Day as a National Holiday](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/america-needs-emancipation-day-as-a-national-holiday/945130/166): > > Your posts in this thread are ridiculous. > [@Pence and Cheney Ticket in 2024](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pence-and-cheney-ticket-in-2024/968378/15): > > Moderating: This is an official warning for attempting to hijack yet another thread to discuss Liz Cheney’s bona fides as a Republican. You have done this many times in P&E threads and have been mod-noted for it several times. I encourage you to pay heed on what you are posting to make sure you are discussing the actual topic of a thread and not simply attempting to derail the main thrust of the discussion. > [@Why doesn't the IRS make a priority of auditing rich folks' returns?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-doesnt-the-irs-make-a-priority-of-auditing-rich-folks-returns/976961/41): > > There’s nothing wrong with tax avoidance. > [@Why doesn't the IRS make a priority of auditing rich folks' returns?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-doesnt-the-irs-make-a-priority-of-auditing-rich-folks-returns/976961/43): > > You’re not in any position to tell me to “fix” anything. **Pre-Discourse Warnings:** > [@During the age of steamers, would people complain about jetlag?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/during-the-age-of-steamers-would-people-complain-about-jetlag/853986/29): > > Moderator Warning D’Anconia, I’ve instructed you before not to ask pointless questions. That some people have difficulty setting their clocks right for daylight saving or calculating time zones is common knowledge. I find it difficult to imagine that you have never encountered this. Ironically, despite your concern for other people providing cites, here you propose a practice for which you provide no cite or evidence yourself.

This is the second note I’ve given you today. This has been persistent behavior on your part for a long time, and is quite jerkish. I am giving you official instructions to refrain from this behavior in GQ in the future.

[Indeed, you produced almost the exact same threadshit](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21455638#post21455638) a couple of weeks ago. Since a note from engineer\_comp\_geek at the time didn’t get through to you, I’m upgrading this to an official Warning. > [@Question re Withdrawing from Treaties](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/question-re-withdrawing-from-treaties/828832/26): > > [Moderating] In case the two of you didn’t notice, this is General Questions, and there’s a factual answer we’re trying to find here. Some other posters have done good work in finding that answer. Politicking does not help, and is not appropriate for this forum. This is an official Warning for both of you. > [@Lower share of female regulars.

You should learn to listen. Warning issued. Don’t do it again. I note it was a full spectrum of moderators that have warned him.

Do not post in a thread for the sole purpose of disparaging the topic or the posters (“threadshitting”). If you want to have a discussion on a topic more to your liking, start a new thread. ---
