Oh, thanks so much. Got an earworm from that one, which resolved itself into song lyrics that may be appropriate for the circumstances:

“A Marley Can Ban,” with apologies to Don McLean

\*A long long time ago,  
I can still remember when the MB used to make me smile.  
And I clicked each and every link  
Some made me laugh; some made me think–  
And they all kept me occupied for a while.

But all the newbies made me nervous,  
With all the spam that was their purpose.  
A new Admin took his place,  
And said that he would give chase.

I do remember I felt damned,  
Insulted, lost, and yes, shitcanned–  
I wondered just what flame was fanned  
The day we were all banned.

Oh, man, man, you know a Marley can ban,  
Clicked the link, but I think, that was not a good plan.  
With Dopers all looking at the new hatchet man,  
And singing, “This’ll be the day I’ve been banned–  
This’ll be the day I’ve been banned.”\*
