    I completely missed what happened, but to answer your question, there are different types of bans. Some where the avatar is replaced with a banned avatar, some not, some where their posts disappear temporarily, some permanent.

    A quote from Ken during a different ban event (I can't directly quote him because that thread was closed/the quote feature doesn't work in closed threads)

    "The four members have been placed in a status where they can read everyone's posts but the only person who sees their posts is me. This is a temporary punishment in which two of the members are halfway through and the remaining two will be limited for 30 days."

    OMG! Several weeks ago, I saw a "Hello Kitty" boom box at Goodwill, and I immediately thought of him.

    I didn't see anything over the edge from Afterburnt in this case, but I sure thought he had some twisted, irreverent comments that we exactly what some of the current conversations needed.

    It was Ken S, I still have the PM's. It was February 2018.

    There was a weird pic posted by him in the COVID thread yesterday. It was a bit off color, let’s say. The post was removed fairly quickly. Maybe that was the trigger. 🤔

    Eh whatever. Too much dancing around whatever the "offense" was, which is pretty useless.

    Kex thanks for the most informative of the posts in this thread.

    The pic he posted was of a couple holding hands. The picture wasn’t the issue. It was the dialog that came with the picture that was the problem. That is why Afterburnt is on time out.

    We have a new moderator gentlemen, and we need to remember that women not only visit this forum from time to time, but now they also run the show. If you want to post something, even well intended as a joke, be mindful of your audience.

    I didn’t pay much attention, @msg but I think it referenced something to do with lips, sand, discomfort, and the anatomy of the fairer sex.

    I going to start all my posts with "The H&M Creative Mischief Design Studio presents...", that way if I ever get in trouble, I'll just say it was the "M" in H&M that wrote it and I just innocently posted it.
