USER SUSPENSION: Bank Vault

[ADMIN]

**This post is informative only. User responses have been disabled.**

 

Members of the USMF community:

 

Today the administration was unfortunately forced to suspend the account of community member "Bank Vault" due to inappropriate posts on the main board and especially in the USMF chatroom.

 

We do not take the banning of a member lightly. The USMF administrators have spent time going through each and every one of this member's posts (including some that were quarantined earlier due to user complaints) and chatroom logs prior to making our decision.

 

In the past this member's name has shown up in member complaints. The typical complaint being that Bank Vault uses vulgar language or personal attacks against members. As a result of these complaints, Bank Valut was officially warned (i.e. an administrator logged it on his account) on April 9, 2009 at 6:06 PM.

 

Then today Bank Vault once again made vulgar, inappropriate comments in the chatroom. And, on top of the foul language, this user thought it necessary to post a link to a pornography video. That is absolutely not tolerated in any way, shape, or form. And the post of such results in an immediate ban. Consequently, Bank Vault was removed from chat. Right before his ban on the board became permanent, Bank Vault felt it necessary to make numerous inappropriate posts on the board. That childish behavior is not and will not be tolerated.

 

It has been said before and will be said again: The point of USMF is to provide a nice, friendly atmosphere within which members can discuss various aspects of militaria collecting. To fulfill this goal, we hold each and every member to a standard - act like adults. Part of acting like an adult is the ability to facilitate meaningful discussion without angering, offending, and/or upsetting the very people with whom we wish to have discussions. When members demonstrate a repeated inability to adhere to this standard, the USMF administration is forced to ban the member's account.

In the future, all members are encouraged to behave in an adult manner in all sections of this board, which includes not only the main forums but also the chatroom and private messaging and emailing systems. There are some forums where this inappropriate behavior is applauded, however USMF is NOT one of those places.
