He was trolling continuously. He hasn't changed: He edited that poll after people had already voted to create misleading results.

Well, the forum policy since a long time ago was to ban trolls (as they impede the speech of others), and tag scammers.

As far as I can tell, banning MNW seems to be a consistent case of enforcing the forum rules. Period.

But, and I think I stated that on several occasions, I do have a lot of respect for Matthew and it makes me somewhat sad to no longer have him around.

I guess the right thing to do here would be to lift the ban as soon as the moderators find that appropriate.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood, I see now how trolling could be so much worse than someone stealing hundreds even thousands of dollars worth of items, money, and bitcoin.
The thing about scammers, they don't pay back shit.

Matthew held the SCAMMER tag for a while. He paid back, no shit!

PS: Just to clarify, only admins can lift bans here, not moderators. I usually consult with theymos on stuff like this though, and would prefer to leave the decision to him here.
