Green Goblin
I took two of your posts out "of public view" in the M@cair thread. (No, they are not deleted - I can see them, you can't.)
Here is your two posts:
"Why do people spit when they talk and are angry?"
"Breaking news - Qantas buy ******, Skywest and Airnorth!"
I'm yet to make any sense at all of your first post.
As to your second post, you may find it amusing that your post may well give false hope to over 200 desperate staff about to be terminated, probably without their financial entitlements. I don't share your sense of sick humour!
I feel for those staff about to be out of work, many of whom are just starting their career in aviation, cut short for reasons totally beyond their control, in a recession and rising unemployment.
Those staff are real people with families, kids, mortgages, financial commitments - and you see fit and amusing to give them false hope and make fun of their predicament!
Yes, after two senseless, thoughtless posts in the same thread I was so p!ssed off that I thread banned you from that thread until February 3.
You were extremely lucky to have got away with only a few days!!!
I would be surprised if the vast majority of our PPRuNe Users, knowing the facts and after consideration, would not support my action.
I don't know anything about the the other "complaints" and am too tired to check tonight. I'll look tomorrow.

With over a quarter million registered users and growing by the day, and over a million page "hits" per day, I guess we must be doing something right!
Moderating is a very subjective - and thankless - task and despite the many hours each Mod spends each day reading posts on PPRuNe, we obviously never get it right in the opinion of a small minority - for which I make no apology!

P.S. OK. Found some of the posts referred to in the Convair 580 thread. I'll check with that Mod in a day or two when he's back on deck.
