@ScottLawrence I did note that the question is a bit ambiguous about whether a temp ban would count, but YES seems quite reasonable (disclaimer: YES holder)
@IsaacKing and you don't care that MI was using antisemitism as a way of trolling and not truth seeking when he posted those comments?
It seems there is moral and reputational risk for the site/community here
@Austin Why did you delete their comments entirely? That just makes threads confusing and removes important context. I thought we had the comment-hiding feature specifically for cases like these.
@IsaacKing I did not intend to delete their comments entirely, and am not sure why their comments are gone. This may be a side effect of me setting their isBannedFromPosting attribute to true, or action from a different admin?
Also, can you link to where their comments have been deleted?
@Austin Not sure that is long enough. I don't see any reason one should have confidence that he would had reformed after a week away.

@jack Assuming I’m understanding his thought process properly, he makes “free money” markets trying to get 5+ traders in order to turn a net profit. If you N/A a market, you’re refunded the creation cost, I think.
Ofc him being a troll means that the lulz is also a valid line of reasoning for why he does what he does.
@jack Another thing wrong was this market he created that violated our policies: https://manifold.markets/MarkIngraham/will-a-manifold-user-stage-a-mass-s?r=SmFtZXNHcnVnZXR0
@ForrestTaylor It's a bit disappointing. He had turned a net profit! We need more irritating loons who nevertheless manage to forecast correctly. The charm of @Gigacasting is wearing out...
