SD70Dude after I got banned a few years ago, and they wouldn't do it. So I moved on and created another account with the same avatar and a similar name.
I've seen you exclaim over that several times the past few years. Not that it matters one way or the other to me personally, but isn't that a lot like saying "doesn't play by the rules", just begging for the authorities to focus their ire upon you?
BaltACD Minining Man was the conduit, however, he has also been banned.
Why were they banned? Please be as specific as possible.
CMStPnP The poster in question can have his account restored via Emailing Customer Service and explaining what happened specifically. I heard he was told that but choses not to do so for whatever reason.

zugmannWho are the moderators? This is one of the only forums I've been to where the moderators aren't readily shown/listed.
Moderator is listed in each Forum if you are in doubt who the old Moderator was, look at the latest sticky posts. Only one Mod has those permissions for sticky posts and usually chief Mod of the Forum. So the next sticky post posted should have the new Mods face and name but you can also go look at the Model Railroader Forum and see.
CMStPnPThe moderator responsible was replaced recently by the Moderator of the Model Railroader Forum. Lets leave it at that and move on.

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
Paul MilenkovicNot to get too political and get myself banned, but let's say there was a posting on Slashdot about a controversial figure for whom Facebook restored his posting privileges after a ban. This figure is sufficiently well known that Mr. Zuckerberg felt he had to go on record that "this person didn't do enough to get banned." Speaking just hypothetically, what does a person have to do to get banned here instead of receiving a warning? Is it a matter of disregarding one or more warnings, or are there things a Forum participant can do that "woosh" they do not appear here? Some wag on Slashdot, and there are many, quipped, "Not enough to get banned? The guy must work harder!"

A response: Similarly, to walking into an 'innocent looking field', and suddenly finding oneseslf standing in a spread of live mines. Beware the noted "...Violation of Community Standards..." Warnimg:
Be very aware of the posted Forum rules....

I would opine that failure to heed warnings would probably lead to more zaps than single egregarious postings.
We aren't likely to see such warnings, as they'll probably move via PMs and emails.
It's also possible that complaints from multiple forum participants might get you banned sooner rather than later.

Flintlock76 greyhounds I need to credit wanswheel for his excellent research. Does anyone know how I can contact him about this? I can assure you that even though Wanwheel's been banished he still looks in on topics that interest him. I'm sure he'll notice the topic you opened! However, I'm more than willing to be the go-between if you have any messages you'd care to send him. Private message me and I'll take it from there.

If GM "killed the electric car", what am I doing standing next to an EV-1, a half a block from the WSOR tracks?
Thank you everyone. I've been in contact with wanswheel and it's all worked out.

His excellent research on what?
On every subject that he decided to get involved in.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
You might try pinging Firelock about how to get in touch with Miningman.
Minining Man was the conduit, however, he has also been banned.
