I've just noticed the user 'rgtaylor' (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/member153332.html,) appears to have been banned from daniweb, was there a reason for this other than the reply in this topic?
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...tml#post368478
if there's more to it than that, fair enough and i'm not asking for details; but if this post is the only reason, that's a bit harsh is it not?
i ask only because, in my previous interactions with rgtaylor personally, he seems like a knowledgable and helpful person, and the reply in that thread isn't so severe, although it's clearly in an angry tone.
as in title, please delete this thread, or otherwise let me know if discussion of banned members/reasons for banning isn't allowed, (i can't see anything on the daniweb page 'o policies that says it isn't, but i'm well aware that this could be seen as asking something that's not really any of my business)
as i hope i've stressed, this is a question not a complaint; was that post the only reason rgtayor was banned? if not, ok, you(s) know what you're doing; if so, is that really a bannable offence? daniweb rules say a 5 point infraction is given for a first-offence personal insult.

I don't see anything.
I'm wondering if it was an automatic response to a bad word which is embedded in another word in that post. In that case, it's a case of (expletive deleted)-for-tat censorship.
Another possibility is that the post that caused the banning has been deleted.
Another possibility is that the account was hijacked.

i'm going to reiterate again; i don't want to spark debate and speculation, or argue with any moderatorial decisions, particularly if there's more to this than first appears, which i know there may well be.

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.

However, several things to point out.
- He could have had his infracting post deleted.
- He could have done something via a PM or email.
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...

No, it was not the IRC. He and Jwenting were not on the best of terms.
I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.
Yea, which is exactly how I was banned..
[edit]..and actually, I think I'm still banned in the IRC chat..

Hehe, no one messes with Jwenting. :-)
> I think I'm still banned in the IRC chat
Contact Dani if what you say is true, there is acute shortage of people on the IRC. ;-)
