No, this member was not banned. The site links were actual violations of TOS rules, AFAIK. Not some new rule made up after the fact, an older standing rule. When following the letter of the TOS and disregarding its spirit, the removal of the gallery was correct. Probably this member got a PM after the removal saying he had violated the TOS and that a warning was recorded. It could have been worse. Apparently this violation was regarded as one single incident, not as 50 or more separate violations - which would have led to an instant permanent ban. Apparently the moderators need to follow the TOS to the letter and the spirit be damned. I don't like this at all. Something must have forced this "Ordnung muss sein" attitude. I wonder what it is, and I wonder what the community can do to remove this need.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
