If you run a forum or large website and want to withdraw privileges to a member you can just ban them, which is within your rights as per T&C.
If you decide to publicly call the banned member a scammer/deadbeat/criminal/untrustworthy etc etc you are opening yourself up to legal contest.
Obviously if the website is owned and operated from somewhere in the world where its hard to be reached well and good, but BHW is hosted and run in the UK by a Ltd company with an easily searchable director(s).
Basically its a lot easier to just say banned and leave it at that.

Are you sure you were banned because of simple stats?

Erm, no, definitely not the case. Since you're keen on discussing your temp ban publicly on the forum, I'll just post a link to the thread that involves you being banned along with my posting why this happened.
He was banned several days after that thread, so I don't know why you would assume it was related to that thread...
To the main point being brought up, we don't discuss the reason why members become permanently banned. If it was for something that happened publicly on the forum (like with @Zbigniew) then you can search their username and find the thread in question. This goes especially for members that were banned for scamming because usually it will have been documented in the Shitlist section.
So, to summarise, we can't tell you why a member was banned if it wasn't due to a public dispute on the forum.
Question answered. Thread closed.

Just to follow up on some points raised in this thread: none of the reasons discussed for bans here are actually correct
However, we know ex-members will often make up a good story to justify why their ban was unfair - and that’s their prerogative to do so - but we’re not going to tolerate gossiping and falsehoods being spread on the forum, so I’ll clean this thread up now.
