We've issued Pablo Sar a 6 month for sockpuppeting. We have strong reason to believe that 4 of the users voting and reacting to his post were accounts under his control. This is, needless to say, a violation of our Forum norms.
We’re issuing Dubious Altruist a three-month ban. We previously warned them about repeatedly being uncivil and rude to other users, which is against our discussion norms. They recently published a comment that was clearly unnecessarily rude so we are following through with the warning we gave them.
As a reminder, the ban affects the user, not the account. During their ban period, the user will not be permitted to rejoin the Forum under another account name. If they return to the Forum, we’ll expect a higher standard of norm-following. If we see them continuing to act rudely we will likely ban them for longer.
