Hi all, I've been a member on here for over 6 years, and it that time I've read about people being banned and people coming back with a different identity, but how do you know these things? Also why do people get banned?

People returning under a new name who use the same IP address can be detected by the Editorlal team, and are consequently re-banned - if their previous and continued contravention does not flag them up for attention first.

People get banned for regular and persistent posts which cause offence, for whatever reason. Pick any post and click its Report link for some examples.
As to how people recognise returning banned users, the vast majority of them announce their return on Facebook and other places. Others give themselves away because they can't disguise their posting style.

Missprim - have a look at the Site Rules , there's a link at the bottom of this page. If someone persistently transgresses, they get suspended or if it's bad/often enough, they get banned. We don't need rubbish stuff and trolls on this site - and if you haven't seen some of the foul stuff that people get banned for, be grateful...
Sometimes banned people can be identified by their style or the language they use.

Wow, have never read the Site Rules, will have a read now.
Boxtops I've heard of trolls and trolling on here but I don't know what that means. God I feel so naive.

MP, your profile says you've been here for years, so you're very lucky not to have experienced any of the nastiness!
A word to the wise, though - Ed generally doesn't appreciate posts about banned / suspended users, especially those which discuss the reasons for the bannings and suspensions, so if this thread gets too specific, expect it to be removed...

There was someone who used to be on here, I can't remember her name but some people really seemed to love her but some said she said hateful things about us on Facebook. Surely you would have to know someones name to find them on Facebook and MarkRae said they announce on Facebook when they will be returning.
