Why was there a post removed from this thread? I was under the impression that Daniweb didn't remove posts. The main argument for this being: "it creates holes in the database". And you were right, it did exactly that in this thread. Jasimp's and AD's posts don't really make any sense anymore.
Better idea would be to snip the text from the posts, but leave the rest of the post there, so people understand to who a reply was made.
And did Josh just get banned for this one post?

I didn't see anything wrong with Josh's post myself, so I don't know why it was deleted.

Probably not. The admins many have permanently banned him

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

He is prema-banned

He has come back twice and each time he has done something bannable, so the current policy is to re-ban him automatically every time it expires instead.

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

And what did he do that was "bannable"? His post that was deleted does not meet the guidelines for an infraction under the "Keep it Pleasant Rule"

Do not troll by posting anything with malicious intent against another member (including, but not limited to, racist, sexist or religiously prejudiced remarks).

Secondly, why not just have a permanent ban, instead of this inefficient wait for it to expire policy.

I think what JBennet meant was that he was already perma-banned. So whenever he comes back he gets automatically banned again. If i understand correctly.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

He has been banned twice already (this is the third - an instant rebanning was done as two bans generally == never allowed to come back again.) He has been perma-banned for some time (6 months each time) as each of the two times he came back he immediately started verbally abusing people.
