I appreciate your ban of Rebelde para Siempre.
Just curious as to what your guidelines are for a ban?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Great Ban, Allen

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

One thing that I used to always think was great about this forum was that the mods here didn't go around banning people for minor offenses. There have been some users (SIXPAQ springs to mind) who have been banned for good reason, but I have always admired the way that people with controvertial viewpoints and messages weren't reflexively banned. I've been on plenty of forums (fori?) where that has been the case, and have found their quality to be lacking. It's one of the reasons I've stayed here as long as I have.
Particularly on the new VB forum, I feel that banning someone should really be a last resort. If a poster is annoying to you, or they have nothing of value to say as far as your concerned, or they are offensive or abusive to you... you can just put them on your "Ignore List". That's what I did with livin' large. I understand that he continues to make remarks about/toward me, but I don't have to look at them.
Since I've gotten a girlfriend, my use for this site has been reduced to the occasional piece of advice for a poster or posting in "Anything Else", which I enjoyed doing because some very intelligent people post there. However, lately its quality has been declining... and this ban did not help my opinion.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Have you forgotten how things work in the Mod's Corner already?

Did this guy Bashful get banned or he just shrunk into minute pieces and never came back?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
