It's called a crackdown.
The same crackdown that was warned about and promised would not be pleasant if people didn't back off from the non-stop flame and flamebait.
It was also spilling over into other forums and generally making the WAB an unfriendly place for people to actually discuss and debate.
We've already lost at least one longtime member because of this nonsense.
Apparently most people involved in the flaming etc didn't believe us.
As to why some of those people were getting banned, there was a decision that was made, it was stated explicitly that the decision was not open to debate and some member decided that they were the exception to that rule.
One was banned temporarily (the ban has since expired) and one was banned permanently.

The other members had an incredibly valid point themselves, which was this:

Is it temporary or permanent?
Can they be given another chance?
For Asim

As you might have read in that thread, Asim can return to the board in 1 week, he is not banned permanently, despite the claims of a "campaign" against him.
By the way Lahori, if you are going to post words or phrases in another language, do please provide a translation for those of us with poor non-English language skills, thanks
