What was he banned for, anyway? I don't remember seeing any obvious posts, even in the thread about you.

Brandon was banned for threatening to inflict harm against PureTalkForum. In an IM conversation he told me, "You're going to regret this." and then told me that in 24 to 48 hours I would see what he meant and that it would be directed at PTF. Among that, there were numerous other references to him inflicting harm upon the site.

Since that time, he has been harassing me in IMs and PMs and has been using multiple accounts to access the site.

Initially, I banned him for 7 days to let him calm down. But that wasn't good enough for him - and due to his recent actions and the multiple accounts, I am seriously considering banning him permanently.

In addition to what is above, Brandon has been harassing numerous members through the PM System and I have received a vast number of reports regarding his behavior.

I don't think so.

He told AJ and a few other members that he finds me to be a cool guy, and that I'm really nice - the next day he told AJ that he hates me, without any sort of provocation.

I'm not sure what it is exactly that's going on - but for the sake of security I don't think it's wise to let him back while this is happening.

I can't divulge what was in the reported PM's but it was some pretty sick stuff - and that alone makes me really uncomfortable having him active within this community. I'm going to be investigating this matter further and I shall keep you apprised.

Knoxbox! Nice to see you back again. It's been so long. I will be staying active as a regular member here, so we can still have fun.

And I'm sure you won't get banned for that.
