Play nice. Abusive posters will be banned."
1. This seems completely contradictory to your other posts. He was certainly abusive.
2. You can post 57 times any time you wish as long as the majority of them aren't abusive.
3. How do you know we lost a customer? You do not have to be a member of the board to use AC.
4. This is the first person I have banned since being the admin for over five years with the exception of obvious spammers like users selling shoes from China.
5. I emailed JB three times with this thread and other posts of Andrechuk notifying him I was going to ban him for a major disruption of the board.
6. Andrechuk was registered as a user twice, a direct violation of the rules of the ACUB. All three of Andrechuk's emails in his profile are blacklisted for spam (although this can be common if you use Dymanic IPs from a business address. The three IP addresses he uses originate from Monroe, Michigan; Bishop, California; and Los Angeles, California. Not sure what that means.
7. Any member banned or not can go to this
Amazing Chats site and find the address, telephone number and two email addresses along with the online chat and communication directly through the website.
8. Any user can Google: bert amazing charts user board email, and the second hit will give you my email address. Andrechuk could have at any time emailed me to discuss the lifting of the ban if he decided to be a productive member of the board.
9. I PM'd him twice asking him what his agenda was and warning him about his posts.
10. There are hundreds of settings in the control panel. Different mods have different permissions. An admin is allowed to ban someone. Jon is a super admin. If he did not want me to have to ability to ban someone, he could easily take that away.
11. Finally, it is not the number of posts, it is the fact that I am on the board nearly every day. Jon chose me to be admin so that I could oversee it as he has other things to do besides dealing with unruly users such as work on a program. He has made it clear to me that he trusts my oversight of the board including the ability to ban users who clearly do not exemplify what AC is all about.
