What a strange strange thread, was there any staff input and conclusion as to why he was banned?

bit of a lolwut haha

Is there any confirmation that he has been banned?  He was still posting a few hours ago.

He has not been banned.  Just his many selling threads have been locked.

Go figure??

Ask Atlas how well banning works.

Gabriel Seletchi can come back under a proxy, but his revenue stream has effectively been diminished. He can't sell here publicly under his handle "torac" or under any dummy accounts he may create, because Theymos banned sales of accounts/invites related to torrents and nzb indexers.  Seletchi will be mad for awhile, but eventually he'll find some new interest to pursue elsewhere.  There is no money for him to make here, at least not by selling credentials or invites that were procured from hacked/compromised accounts or from accounts that were produced through unauthorized transfers (violations of ToS).

Exactly. Banning him would serve no purpose except to piss him off, and start a game of whack-a-sock-puppet.

Just a FYI: Mods can't ban users. Mods can only suggest someone should be banned, theymos has the power to decide.
I don't think any Moderator asked for this funny character to be banned.
