I thought he was banned, but I just saw an old thread he was in where he’s listed as “suspended”. I kinda liked him before he melted down. When does he get to come back?

Just ask Johnny Mathis when we’ll allow him back.

He was a sock–one of the best. SBSO, Pimm’s o’clock, Cryptoderk, River Hister. Probably a few more.
We were voting to suspend him at the time. So that’s how he got his tag. I presented evidence a few days later of who he is/was. We just never got around to changing his status–although, we put him on permanent suspension.
Thanks for the heads up. Correction coming up shortly.
And, this one is closed.
