1. Stop attempting to be a mod, no doubt if the mods have any guesses that a member is actually an alter ego they will check the IP adresses.
2. If you had paid any attention to writing styles you would notice that Cuchulain's is entirely different to either Wrath's or Fwel's. It was fairly obvious that both of those individuals were not native English speakers. It is equally apparent that Cuchulain is, or at the very least, s/he has an excellent grasp of the English language.

I'm definitely from the good ol' US of A (see my profile; Gotham= NYC) and I haven't ever been a member of GameBanshee before, so please don't stay awake nights worrying about former members coming back for cyberspace revenge in the form of a mildly inquisitive thread
As far as I can tell it is pretty hard
not to find banned members (see sticky thread- "Updated Anatomy of GameBanshee Members"). Should I list members who aren't here anymore, just to prove a point? I don't really think that is necessary, so just look at some of the older threads and see what names turn up.
Many cultures are defined by what they do with their dead, and if GameBanshee is it's own little culture (I would say it is) then the question is applicable- what about banned members? I don't have an answer, or even a good suggestion beyond what I have already put forth, but I did think the problem was worth consideration. This is, essentially, a place where people who like fantasy can interact with each other, and what makes for a better story than the former members of the proverbial tribe who have been cast out of the group? Whether this new category were to say something as simple as "Banned-Flaming" or as complicated as a 500 word summary of the events leading up the the banning is up to someone other than me; in any case though, there is the potential for both closure and dramatic storytelling, and that is what originally grabbed my attention.
Re: Xandax, C Elegans, and Weasel
I kind of imagined that the events leading up to individual bannings were relatively mundane, and that some users knew what they were doing, but what about the atypical cases of truly spectacular fireworks? Can't you just envisions a category saying "Banned- Over the Line" or somesuch?
Re: Ideal Maxima
I don't take offense, but you certainly could have been more subtle. I hope you don't react to every member who asks a tough question in a similar fashion. I don't know who Wrath or Fwel are.
If anyone has anything else to say about this I would love to hear it, but I will understand if people want to put it to bed. I thought the question was at least worth asking...
