Careful Penguinisto, people have been banned here for careless mention of ordnance (or rather twilight zone interpretation of mention of ordnance). BTW, there is a difference between 'banned' and 'suspended'. Although the technical mechanism is the same (hence 'account banned' greet screens), the admin here consider 'banning' to be permanent. Most of the rest of us use the term for both banning and suspension. I suspect the atthisstage account has been suspended for a set period rather than outright banned (of course, circumventing a suspension is regarded by admin as a serious offense, so who knows now...). Here's what the greet screen looks like: banned.jpg It's a kind of 'rights of passage' thing. ;-)
