Overnight gone?

I put him on a two-week suspension. I have asked him on multiple times to dial back the dumb videos, and although he complies for a while, he eventually goes right back to the same nonsense. It would be different if the videos actually had a lot of relevance to the thread topic but they often are just clips that are very loosely correlated to his own reply. The clips he posts are often from tv, movies or commercials, so they disrupt the flow of the conversation and distract the user from the original topic instead of being educational in nature.

Was he temporarily banned (you called it a suspension) for posting videos in the trading threads or the political threads ?

I do not follow his posts closely and have only seen videos as a reply in the political & feedback threads.

Also, most people post videos...many are not "educational in nature" especially when they're posted in the Community section. In fact, the music videos I've seen him post seem to be as a reply to someone's specific message post although that specific message post was not on topic with the thread topic.
  • This is odd (ironic) because one of his biggest complaints about the ignore/block function was that it disrupted the flow of the conversation resulting in different topics in the same thread or just not being able to follow the conversation.
I myself post music videos sometimes as a reply to someone's specific message post even though that specific message post is off-topic. Simply, I've never been given a warning nor seen anyone else doing the same given a warning about posting videos (e.g. music, commercials, TV or whatever) as part of their reply.

An example (below) of using videos as sarcasm, joking, taking a topic not too serious but using the video to get a point across...

He was suspended for off-topic/distracting videos in the trading threads. And to make matters worse, he will often post a reply in a thread that he admits he knows nothing about AND he'll attach a virtually useless video to his admittedly useless reply. I don't know if that's just his way of keeping his post count high because some of the replies w/videos he has submitted just seem utterly pointless to the topic of discussion.

If he wants to attach videos to his comments in the off-topic forums, I couldn't care less.
 
When is he allowed back? Kinda miss him, not his stupid video clips but the old geezer himself.

Ok...I understand now.

An example is the message posted by someone else in the technical analysis thread @ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/does-trendline-work.335191/page-37#post-5755192
