I was at my sister's and away from the Internet for a major part of the weekend and found out about the banning after it had happened. The explicit reason given was multiple personal attacks on board members.
Over a span of two days three of Mike's posts in OT political threads were reported by three different members of the forums. After the second of Mike's posts was reported, one of the mods sent him a PM asking that he tone things down. When the third post was reported three different mods all suggested a temporary ban, given that the PM appeared to have been ignored. None of the boxing mods, Chris, Lee, or I encouraged any ban. The three mods who did are all neuteral parties, who do not post on the political threads in the OT forums. I have no idea at all about their political affiliations. They have not shared those with anyone. OT can get very heated when people are passionate about their religous or political beliefs.
At the moment there are 15 days and a few hours remaining on the ban.
The temporary ban was issued because warnings would have had a cumulative effect and automatically resulted in a permanent ban.
