Compiling an anticanon of Atlas Forum posters

Does mvd10 count or no?

mvd was banned?

Technically got himself banned at his own request but yeah he is banned (and very likely would have been banned regardless)

Tbh I do find some redeeming qualities in mvd; I've had some interesting debates on European politics with him and on his time in the forum he was pretty good at running the Dutch politics thread.

He reminds me of lfromnj a lot and would put him in a similar standing to lfromnj if it wasn't for his incident with Virginia. I also think he should remain banned for said incident but that is obviously not my call to make.

Are there any banned posters who are not in some sense controversial?

Adam Griffin is probably the closest, where he was briefly permabanned for his implication in the 2015 Modleaks scandal; while also being a forum member who was in very high standing.

This was eventually changed to a 2 weeks tempban I think once things had been cleared up I believe. (by none other than Dave himself if I am not mistaken; probably one of the very few times Dave intervened directly)

I know he was, but I'm curious as to the story behind it, because it seems it was pretty bad but he always seemed like a very reasonable and informative poster whenever I read anything by him.

Here is the big thread that details the things that happened fairly well. Most stuff happened on Discord though but there are plenty of screenshots captured

There may be other threads but this should be the biggest one
