Viper Diamond
Violations:
Rule #1: Demonstrated particularly poor site knowledge when he claimed that parody descriptions of RAU characters were based on him and Game Pond GD members. Despite substantial evidence produced to prove the characters exist, have existed for years, and were created by me, user still insisted otherwise and threatened to attack forums unless topic was deleted.
Rule #2: Multiple counts of flamebait posts and topic derailment. Complained constantly about "too many Transformers topics" while making no indication of what he thinks people should be discussing. Making particularly hostile responses to BJ Strykes and CataTonic9 over 2001 Game Pond fiasco.
Rule #3: Multiple counts of attempting to enforce Game Pond rules on Port Saiid, despite having declared independence from that community. Multiple counts of "Mayflower" posting - user pretended he was completely unaware of any of the events of the breakup and made hostile responses to anyone who recounted those events, calling people liars for saying things that were true (even after evidence was produced in some cases), and insisting that we had to continue to "respect" people that had mistreated, stolen from, and lied to us for years.
Rule #5: Attempted Stranglehold Scam in final post on forum.
Rule #6: Multiple counts of blaming members in good standing of Port Saiid for personal life problems. User seemed to have mental and social problems - refused suggestions of seeking professional help.

User also attempted to bring problems from an offsite, unaffiliated chatroom to Port Saiid and reacted in a hostile manner when he was asked not to, as per forum policy.
Rule #9: See Rule #2. User was also posting song lyrics in random topics not related to songs, music, lyrics, or the bands he was quoting.
Rule #10: Broke Yuku's TOS during attempted board flooding. Was possibly involved in similar flooding attacks on DHN and The Game Pond around the same time. (Flooding attacks at those forums followed user's pattern of hatred towards particular forum members, such as BJ Strykes, CataTonic9, and Mercury Crusader.) User also attacked flyingomelette.com email and (now-defunct) guestbook system.
Rule #11: User claimed to be from the Game Pond since the beginning, yet evidence proves the name did not exist there until about September 2001, two months before the breakup. User either lied about community involvement or is a repeat problem user masquerading under a sock puppet account. User has inflated post total, possibly from exploiting ezboard glitch.
Rule #13: General stupidity. User may also have had some involvement in several site hackings around the same time he was an active member. Note that messages left on hacked sites fit with user's posting patterns and personal vendettas towards certain people. Also note that board flooding, email flooding, and site hackings came to an abrupt end right after the user in question was banned.
