have turned out to be the same person and are permanently banned from our forum.

We moderators have proof for that (provided by the site owner): an inquiry at the database has shown that certain IP addresses are repeatedly shared between these users. Out of 3000 members since our forum exists, none other than these actually show up for the IP adresses in question. I think this proves beyond reasonable doubt that these users all have the same identity. Which is clearly against our forum rules.

Before moderation took place here, HarryHaller was a major pain to some of us and observing his actions was no fun.
He has bullied others and punished them for their lack of knowledge.

Since moderation takes place here, HarryHaller has behaved well . But the other identities caused a lot of mess and confusion. As we know that all seven identities are the same person, we think that the person known to us as HarryHaller has used these indentities to behave to his own questionable taste whenever he feeled like that, knowing, that his main identity on which he collected expertise and respect and recognition would stay untouched. He knew he could get away with it.

We feel that such a member has no place in this friendly community.

Fred Dieckmann: permanent ban temporarily suspended.

This is an experiment. If Fred gets along without getting in conflict with our rules for quite a while, it might happen the ban is forgotten to be reactivated.

I ask the community not to make things more difficult by assuming Fred is not meant to defend himself. We would have to step in in cases of "tweaking". We want our experiment to succeed.

Fellow diyAudio members,

fdegrove has been banned.

fdegrove was called to order by a moderator. After the subtle approach from a number of moderators failed, a moderator very clearly (and loudly) stated our concerns -- this was a call to order with no immediate action intended.

The timing wasn't the best with fdegrove announcing he was leaving a few hours before (the moderator was not aware of that -- had he been then he would not have seen any further necessity to call fdegrove to order). The moderator action however was marked as official action, the opinion of the entire moderator team, and was still valid.

In return, fdegrove chose to threaten the moderator with legal consequences, announcing his intention to turn this over to his attorney.

I would like to remind you that we all, you all, fdegrove included, have agreed to following text when submitting the registration (emphasis is mine):

Although the administrators and moderators of DIYaudio Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of DIYaudio Forums or Jelsoft Enterprises Limited (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By clicking the Agree button, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of DIYaudio Forums have the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.

fdegrove chose to threaten a moderator while on official duty and when he became aware that his account had been blocked temporarily until we had settled how to proceed, he repeated this threat to the moderator team and to diyAudio as a whole.

The repeated threat is enough reason: the moderator team has decided that fdegrove is no longer welcome here. He is persona non grata. He is permanently banned.

The two posts in question have been moved into the new Trash Bin temporarily for anyone interested in seeing them.
