Ashur was banned
ashur.a...@gmail.com
this newsgroup by it´s creator/administrator. No warning was issued.
Any idea who is responsible? Maybe this can be discussed and reversed.

I think Ashur has been taking too many Tablets.
There's no way to be banned from a newsgroup.

Nope. Usenet doesn't work like that.
Your news provider - Google, presumably - might have decided to bar you
access to their service, but that's entirely different. There is no
central authority that can ban you from an unmoderated newsgroup such as
rec...jyhad.

This newsgroup is unmoderated (as noted in the FAQ...) There isn't any
way to be banned from the newsgroup. It is possible that his ISP
doesn't pick it up anymore (although if he is reading it with
google.groups, that isn't an issue either). And possible that
something is broken somewhere. But he certainly isn't banned.
And why is "Ashur's friend" posting as ashur.ashur? Suspicious...

His account has been disabled, though. (Find one of his posts and try
to look at his profile.)
I've reported him twice now, once for a racist remark and more
recently for posting a sales post immediately after he was told not
to. Maybe that's got something to do with it, or maybe he's been
acting up on other newsgroups as well.

But he's still not banned from this newsgroup.
This newsgroup maintains no profiles.
It is not possible to be banned from this newsgroup.
What he has possibly been is banned from using Google to post to this newsgroup,
but that's another thing entirely.

Racist remark?
That surprises me.
What was that all about?

What sort of racist remark ?

Yeah, I noticed that too and found it weird nobody unleashed at him. Didn't
think he'd be reported though.

I guess two reports are enough for Google, except of course when it involves
the spammers that plague our group...

Wasn't that him? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. (This is why
people should sign their posts!)
If you weren't there for it, it's not really worth repeating.

Sure, but if he doesn't know of another way to post to the group other
than using Google to do so, he might think he's been banned.

I'm going to guess that was acheron..., not ashur.

Indeed.

Whoops! You're totally right. Sorry for the inadvertant impugning,
ashur.

Ah, good to hear.
I guess Ashur can be a troll from time to time but I would have been
very surprised if he did racists remarks.
Still find it strange that he would be banned. I can't see why he
would be and others wouldn't. It's also a pity since it limits the
opportunity to advertise the Stockholm tournaments.
Anyhow, doesn't really matter now, I'm sure he can get a new account
to keep up the posting.

Lol. Yeah, that's classic, innit.
"You see, doctor, I have this friend.. and he uhm... he wants to know
if it's.. you know, if my wiener.. I mean, his wiener, is supposed to,
uhm..." :-)
We all know it's you, Ashur. Just say so.

It is NOT ashr. it is ashur.ashur.
Like ashur squared kinda. Double your pleasure!

And as LSJ and other have pointed out, he did not get banned from the
newsgroup which is unmoderated in that sense. He got banned from
Google groups.
Anyone can download a "real" newsgroup reader and just continue
reading nicely. I guess Google can even provide links to those if you
search by them.
Excellent tools too.
