The individual using the screen name of 02RSX was banned, after extensive deliberation, by the editors of TOV.

The editors originally chose not to make public the reasons for this in order to avoid public embarrasment of this person. Suffice it to say that a disingenuous pattern of behavior by said individual was observed, reaching an apex with an unjustified, unsolicited, vituperative, profanity filled hate mail to one of the editors of this forum - and that description doesn't even begin to plumb the depths of the issue.

There were a variety of other behaviors exhibited, but the email, in and of itself is sufficient for removal. He is fortunate he has not been reported to his email administrator for use of the service for harrassment.

For those worrying about being banned, don't. TOV has now banned a total of 3 individuals out of over 21,000 members. One was reinstated after an apology to TOV. Those causing trouble are usually given many, many warnings before any action is taken, although there is no policy requiring those warnings.

Should anyone have any questions about policy, regulations, etc., you may post them here, or directly email them to me, as I will see them sooner or later anyways.
