If people can be banned from the Political Lounge, why not be banned from the Games forum. I can think of a few people that need to be banned from there (yeah, I'm talking to you two who keep derailing the WoW threads).

The mods are slacking in their duties.

Each forum has it's own set of moderators.

Please notify a moderator or administrator about any potentially problematic users. You can use the private messaging feature of the forums, and you should include links to threads that demonstrate bad behavior.

Moderators don't have banning abilities, so this isn't exactly the moderator's fault. If you see something you think we've missed, let us know!

What this is specifically about is Ca$h, I think. Blizzard says he can't post in the admin forum to get him banned again (whatever good that'll do).

Not surprised.

Only an admin can ban. Mods simply recommend banning. They also try to keep discussions on track or give warnings for bad behavior.

Weird. blizzard has privileges to post in the mod forum, so I guess I'll have to check to see what's going on with his access.

Thanks for letting me know.

GZL, until tonight, I couldn't post in there either, so maybe whatever you did today fixed the problem for Blizzard too.

gohoward wants to know what the point of banning a joke account only from the Lounge is.

just ban ca$h outright he messes up threads in any section he posts in.
Brian says (9:16 AM): I was looking at houses in Ottawa... I actually have a temptation in me to move
Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.
