Although we have not had to do this before except with spammers, once a forum member reaches a certain amount of negative karma that we deem overly excessive (no, we will not give a number), we reserve the right to ban them. I think this is pretty self-evident actually but never wanted to make an outright announcement seeing that it might open the floodgates to vendettas or excessive smiting. Remember that repeated smiting will be reversed on a case to case basis (ie: smiting someone 5 times a day for a week with no new cause).
Of course, negative karma is not the only reason why someone might be banned. Another popular one is having multiple accounts.

I could not agree more Oldfart, i think however it is sad that someone may have to be ban at some point because this forum never was like that, and maybe people just do not understand this forum is a place to share info and everyone here is so of his or her own free will, and some volunteering their time to help with this so anyone making the job of keeping the forum moving and what it is suppose to be any harder should be banned.

To those worried about getting banned due to your karma count, if you haven't received a warning yet, then you don't have to worry. I have only had to give out a warning once so far in the history of the forum. It remains to be seen if the warning is heeded.

Hello everyone! I Hope I May Have more than ONE Account here from the same ISP. WHY? Because there are two very different collectors at this same address using the same machines.
Some of you know My girl sloan and myself From KR,CAD, And 3A forums. THanks for listening I just registered and intend for her to get her own account over the weekend.
DuchessVonUberhick aka Domina & sloan~

I have decided to ban rsingletary from the forum. I think that we have been exceptionally lenient and it has just reached a point where no one really wants him here anymore for multiple reasons. I don't take doing something like this lightly and this is essentially the first time someone has been banned who isn't a spammer (in the true sense of the word).

Agree. Sven goes and I do. Commandax definitely. Lots of people on this forum I feel like I know, e.g. Highbrow,Epicfai, Churdalias. I know and value my friendship with Commandax but ove never met Sleepboy, Epicfai, Highbrow or Sven but it would be awesome to do so.

Weezy I agree whole hearted , I have made some amazing friends who I have never seen in person on this forum, some have become Facebook friends, some have become people I make smarts comments after their posts just like I would to a friend in the car with me. I am glad this place is here, even as my priorities shift a little from art or if I ever decide to give art up all together I will continue to be a part of this board and glad to see it cleaned up.
Weezy you have a standing invite make it to south florida dinner on me anywhere you want.

wait a minute. Aside from his extremely corny posts and use of language, what was his deal? What problem did he cause.
"I consider this a great work of art, EXALT!"

I found him kind of entertaining. I think he may have Asperger's Syndrome or something.

I think he may have Asperger's Syndrome or something. That would explain a lot! I don't know it for fact but I am fascinated by Asperger's so I have read up on it quite a bit. He displayed a lot of those qualities. But then again, you know how it is. You start reading about a particular mental disorder and then you start noticing it in everybody! Heh

Another reason to get banned would registering a new account solely to smite people.

After extensive discussion and consideration, I have decided to ban Daniel Lahoda from posting on this forum.

a positive move for the forum all-round. i hope becca and the many others he has wronged get to settle things with him one day. i only wish the other artists that work with him took a moral stance and decided to cut all ties.

This may not mean a lot because I am a new member. But forums especially this one helps me with my art purchase decisions. I can’t can speak for everyone, but I really appreciate that sleep and moderators do screen out the “scammers”. Thank you for doing what you do to help us noobs.

Thanks once again to our wise Sleepboy for making the right decision. I generally would not post anything negative on the ARTCHIVAL since this is for the most part a discussion forum and everyone has different tastes, but in the case of lahoda...
