Quote - pjz99, that linked site confuses me. If they've banned almost 70,000 people, some for just a few hours, then it ceases to be an embarrassment, and starts turning into a gold star. For a few moments, I thought the whole point of the site was to get banned as many times as possible.

That's a good point that I was hoping someone would notice (and I'm sad that it took this long).  Because bannings are so rare here, they are treated like some kind of major event.

Also, worth noting that those folks banned at SA have to wait out their ban, which is sometimes quite long - a week or a month - or pay extra money to be able to post (essentially paying for their own moderation work).  Perma-banned people are not allowed to ever-reregister via the same IP address, and if they manage to circumvent that and are discovered later, they are just perma-banned again (paying 10 bucks each time!)
