He's what I would call a problematic member. He actually had to ask the moderator that banned him which image it was this time.

The fact is that we don't need to give 3 warnings, or even one. Those things are done out of courtesy, as we would like to think that our members will respect the forum guidelines. If they stray outside of them, we're willing to give them a chance to correct that behavior. But if someone repeatedly posts inappropriate comments or images*, they'll get the boot.

Now, if it was you that posted the image, (I only saw the monkey, don't think I saw the fat guy) and it got reported to the mod queue, it would have been different. I would have scratched my head, said "Hmmm, never heard of this guy", deleted the image, and maybe sent you a PM with an unofficial warning. But Botto has created quite a name for himself in the mod queue.

*The fact that he was picking on ryanf did cause some mixed emotions amongst the moderators. In the end, he should be derided for choosing such an easy target.
