We’re issuing Dubious Altruist a three-month ban. We previously warned them about repeatedly being uncivil and rude to other users, which is against our discussion norms. They recently published a comment that was clearly unnecessarily rude so we are following through with the warning we gave them.
As a reminder, the ban affects the user, not the account. During their ban period, the user will not be permitted to rejoin the Forum under another account name.
