Actually you can thank Liberal Classic for the Ban thingy.
He was the one that told me that frequent violation of official FR policy would lead to banning. And I take the fact that these computer flame wars that are not based on truely breaking news (Like actual arrests at SCO or Microsoft for their "pump 'n' dumping" as a forinstance) are now being reposted by Mr. Robinson to General Interest means that this is now official policy and that too frequent moderator repostings from news/activism to General Interest caused by the same individual can result in a ban just like any other violation of official policy. I believe that my own FReep mail answers from Mr. Robinson also confirm that posting these computer articles to General Interest is now official policy. The only ones that tend to stay in news/activism for any length of time are Microsoft articles that are about the newest virus or other genuine breaking news. All of this is why I'm going to "cool it" on
posting what are just simply the latest idiocies from SCO
or Linux users on news/activism.

shadowman said: Jim doesn't say anything about banning users. Just that he would prefer a post to General. That seems to be a distortion as far as I'm concerned.

To which you replied: Actually you can thank Liberal Classic for the Ban thingy. He was the one that told me that frequent violation of official FR policy would lead to banning.

I beg your pardon. I have told you no such thing. I am neither in the habit of warning people nor in the habit of clicking the abuse button. Just to be sure I went back to check and I have never told you anything of the sort. Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else.
