This banned member posted plagiarized material.


The content posted to this forum by this currently banned member was improperly stolen from another author without their permission. As such, the posts have been removed.

While this is not the reason this member was banned from ATS, this aspect of his personality is certainly a contributing factor.

No warnings? Just an outright instant ban? I have seen this done before here without even warnings.

There were several warnings in an ongoing issue with him and staff members that few regular members observed (the threads are trashed). It was clear his intent was trolling, soon after joining, he became involved in flame-fests with four of the staff (not including me), which quickly moved him into the ranks of fast-ban. In addition, he placed horrid porn in his sig, which by itself is an insta-ban offense. The author of this plagiarized content came forward and asked that it be removed after the ban was put into effect.

Thanks for explaining that SO. I just wanted to know what could cause these instant bans w/o warnings for personal reference. Thanks again.

Never saw this coming. Didn't think he was going to be around long. And yes SO, he did call you out.

His blog entries were somewhat deranged too, especially once he had been banned
