However, in the interest of confidentiality the admins and volunteers will not be divulging all the nitty-gritty details of his ban. If owenshooter wishes to do so he obviously has every right to do so.

I'm sure we will all see him again in 6 months when his ban has run its course.

How many 6-month bans does one get before it becomes a permanent one ?

Under our retooled escalating punishments policy a user can get repeated 6-month bans for a rather long time, or if it is deemed necessary in special circumstances the admins still reserve the right to issue a permanent ban. However, I don't believe we have a "set number of 6-month bans leads to a permanent ban policy" at the moment.

If I'm mistaken on that AndyDufresne is free to correct me as he is the Chief Moderator.

WHAT in the world is going on here? WOW!

I spose those who report cheating will also be subject to punishment in the future.

owenshooter is teaming with me in a few games plus a tournament, how do we manage this? can he still take his turns and be banned for forum posts for 6 months? or how does this work? does he just miss his turns and we as his partners just get screwed? I don't know if I like that IF that is the case.

Nope, he can still take his turns, he is just banned from the forums and receiving PMs/seeing wall posts.

Yeah, see, I actually think Owen's funny most of the time, except when he's accusing me of being a racist for whatever erroneous, silly reason.

I'll miss his witticisms and overly acerbic responses to posts in the forum. I'm sorry that he'll be gone for six months. I enjoyed every game I ever played with him, and I hope he can eventually overcome his misunderstanding with me and we can team up again.

Owen, if you're reading this, and I'm sure you are, hang in there. I look forward to your return.
