I assume that he must have been identified as a banned user attempting to return. (Unless he posted something naughty which I didn't get a chance to read):

he must have decided to try his luck elsewhere, bet this goes too mushroom, I asked a similar question about a similar new Aber and my thread vanished under the 'don;t feed the trolls' moderation rule
there has been a few names banned or suspended for no apparent reason over the last few days.
If it's the Ed then I'm sure they have their reason (as I'm sure they can see the IP records on the server).... If it's a Mod then maybe they need to consider they are being a little trigger happy....
Just my thoughts though..... Top gears on so I'm off for a bit...
gnome seems to be splitting hairs, we dont want a repeat of the abuse of a few weeks ago, but at the same time we dont want the site alienated because users are being zapped for the slightest thing.
MrIncredible disappeared and then came back and so did Cluster1. Both seemed to me to be completely innocuous and both have come back so I think it was just a glitch in the system. Cluster was very upset, so I hope she has recovered now. I also hope that Zippy has not disappeared - one of the best!!
No starbuck - I've just seen the On Top thread you responded to, that was last night before she "went" - if you click on her avatar, it still says "suspended".
There have been some strange goings on (eg bibblebub's disappearance, then tonyted came back and went). But it was not a great surprise, I guess, when new posters called TROL LEE and something like IAMLEGEND09 were zapped today. I wonder, however, if some of these suspicious new users may not be who they seem- I think there are some who just like to cause mischief.
