Why was Rubik banned?

[Leaffan]

Just curious. I can’t seem to find any inflammatory comments.

I think it’s because he just didn’t fit in. Not quite a geek or a nerd, more of a socially awkward doofus. Kind of a square. That it wasn’t all that apparent is likely because he did have some depth to him, so maybe with that added dimension it would be more appropriate to call him a cube.

…
My guess: when a poster arrives and is unceremoniously banned after a handful of posts–particularly when that handful of posts seem pretty much in line with Board culture and whatnot–it was probably a sock.

Please contact a moderator.

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.

If you try to get such a thread via a link, you may get an error message that says something like:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

That probably means that the post or thread you’re looking for has been deliberately “disappeared.” Email a moderator if you wnat more information in a specific situation.
