This is getting crazy now. I have little to say, but the pictures speak for themselves. Is ljoss banned or not banned? You decide!
I imagine SS is responsible for this, and I find it reprehensible. This gives a bit more validity to R_E's claims about what Scott has done to his account. Is he trying to keep the banning of certain individuals "secret"?
Important note: Believe me, in image #4: I tried to post in several other areas. Everything from the CC to OM to General strategy and so on. It was the same in all of those places.
He has obviously created a new class for users where they can PM and whatnot and do not appear banned, but are, in actuality, banned. It's that simple, and quite easy to do.
Apparently, you're account is detained until further notice? It's being held hostage in Nova Prospekt?
I think it's Guantanamo Bay.

Can you change your sig/profile/etc?
I checked on this, per your request. It is very funny! I can edit my profile and options. I tried that, and it worked! But I cannot edit my signature. Infact, it gets weirder than that.
The entire "edit signature" area does not even exist. The button is gone. It's not under quick links, nor is it anywhere else. He can make buttons disappear too? lol
I'm too stupid to fully comphrehend whatever the answer may be.
But did you like mention Salvation on there, or move, or breath, or type, or generally do anything that would get S_S to ban you? Or is he just trying to weed out all the popular and well known posters who have established a name for themselves on News, and may still have ties to R_E and other heads of the site.
I seem to notice that he goes after anyone with some kind of title like "Best Debator" or "Best Strategty Guy" or the like.

Hmm, tis quite strange. Well, with SS ruling the site, i guess anything could come next, like adult movies on the front page, and you have to click on a certain body part (hopefully not the one my name refers to) to get to the forums, yaaaaaaay.
If all this is really SS doing uber corrupt things I hope the members of th emtgnews community find out quickly, because SS should definitely NOT be allowed to do this, even if he is co-owner. This is the reputation of people he is messing with, but in his sick and twisted ways, he probably says they ruined there own reputations by personally attacking him.

If you dont get that, look at my username, and if you still dont get it, than your to young to have an account on here without your parents permission, YOU ARE A BAD LITTLE CHILD!!!!

You forgot the part where after he says that the user/s actually was/were helldemons sent to Mars that wasn't actually Mars, but Hell, that the defendant has no actual way to respond to his being flamed with lies and is left completely defenseless.
What a freaking school yard bully.

No, I think a better comparison is an angry frat boy. At least school yard bullies don't tie you up, remove your pants, beat you soundly with their homoerotic frat paddles, gag you, then tell everyone aroung the playground that you're a nazi.
At least, that's not what MY schoolyard bullies did...:alien2:

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.

You, sir, never went to Cedar Grove Memorial Middle School!
@joss: you're in my boat. You basically have to let yourself drift off to sea, because you're naked and bound to the boat floor. Hope that seagulls don't show up, because they like to peck at dangling objects.
I think this is an honest mistake. Your primary usergroup is currently the "Suspended" usergroup, but the Custom Tag additional usergroup box is checked, which overrides your title. So you're suspended. An admin simply didn't know to uncheck the Custom Tag box when suspending someone.
Just to let you guys know, this is not what happened to me and R_E.
My account is unable to access PMs, edit avvy/profile/sig, and all else ljoss can't do.
Thats weird, huh?
Maybe he is establishing certain degrees of "punishment" based on what we've done/who we are.
edit: Darth Cow, thank you for the update. I appreciate it. Can suspended users still view Pms though? Because I've viewed a new one only a few minutes ago. And, I don't know about this "forgot to show suspension" thing. Maybe you are right. It must be that they are overworked, but you can imagine why I'd be suspicious... given all the propoganda floating around news lately.
You're banned. He simply didn't disable the override for your custom title.
Isn't that a bit too convienient though that they forgot in so many cases to do this? Well, they have been doing an awful lot of these lately. Maybe they're just tired and overworked.. getting sloppy. I don't know..
You're banned. He simply didn't disable the override for your custom title.
I wish he would override my custom, even though it does make a statement about what happened....banned would make a bigger one.
That makes perfect sense then....thanks.

It looks weird to see banned users as not banned users...
IMO, they're trying to keep the "important people" and their bannings as inconspicuous as possible.
He has obviously created a new class for users where they can PM and whatnot and do not appear banned, but are, in actuality, banned. It's that simple, and quite easy to do.
Agreed. This is possible using the software at News.
My recommendation for anyone that has access to their News account is to immediately log in, delete all your PMs (save copies of anything important), take any valuable information you've posted on News in the past (cards you've created, primers you've written, clan lists, games and characters you've had, and so on) and save it to a TXT file on your harddrive, or post it in the respective forums here.
For example, before I left on December 31st, I deleted all my PMs in case something like this happened. It seemed silly at the time (I didn't even think S_S would ban me... I just thought I'd fade away from News) but I'm glad I did it. I also made a copy of all 450 cards I've created in the NCSI forum (I'll be posting them ALL here soon! :)). I also snagged a bunch of other useful posts that I'd made in the years I was there, and saved them to my harddrive, or posted them here (the two stickies in the Rumor Mill forum, for example).
Lastly, remove any personal information in your profile, change your sig to say MTG SALVATION (:evil2: ), and change your password.
Do this as soon as you can, as it looks like things are getting desperate and near the end at News. :\'(
EDIT:

But does S_S post as you? I thought R_E said S_S was using his account to pm people... what's the deal?
No, I said that he was using my account to receive PMs.
My account is not banned. When I try and log in, I can't because my password has been changed, and I can't request it to be emailed to me or reset. I can't log in at all, but as evidenced, "someone" has been logging in.
Darth Cow, you're welcome to set my account to "banned". I think that would be alright for you to do without getting S_S mad at you over there.
DemonTmplr, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
I noticed it when I couldn't edit my sig over there.

This reminds me of what happened to me last night, only I WAS in reception of the lovely avatarily displayed 'banned' tag.

Someone thought I might have to post in "testing ground" to "start all over". But, heh... I get the same message when I try to post there.
Yeah, but that's disable-able. They disable that at MT before 20 posts.
