| Banning monkey92z |
This is just an announcement to let everyone know that I banned the user "monkey92z". The user registered today and posted two incoherent and spam advertising messages. QuiteDad reported the spam, and I deleted the messages and banned the user.
I didn't think to copy the text of the posts until after I deleted them, but, if we'd like, that can become practice in the future. If there are any issues or concerns with the actions, please let me know.

It seems we both did it at the same time.

Posts outside High Court venues should be taken as those of any other legislator. I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.

The text in question should have been copied. That should be standard to avoid trouble in the future.
The user in question was a spambot. Do not expect the administrative team to announce the banning of spambots.

But, we can't assume everyone that gets banned is a spambot. I'm not saying he was wrong to ban them. Then again, since the user was a spambot, why announce it in the first place?
Because Tsu wanted to announce it. That is his choice, but it is not administrative policy. Spambots are fairly easy to spot, and it is obvious they are one when we catch them. Regular users don't post senseless posts about clothes and brands, nor to they have these random names.

Frankly, I wasn't aware of what the other admins had been doing in regard to this and/or that this had been a previous issue. As a gesture of good faith toward the first moderation I've done on these forums (literally), I posted the announcement. I had attempted to save the one posting for explanation, but apparently Kris and I were deleting and/or banning the user at the same time. I'd have no problem posting the text in a thread, if we want, but I hope this happens so infrequently that it shouldn't be a problem. And, if it is happening frequently, I think we should revisit our registration situation.
