No, these moderators only issue bans if there is a reason (like breaking the site rules).
From what I know about Bill Beaty, he must have been banned for something pseudoscience-related. Just a guess, don't take my word for it.

Edit: Pseudoscience was partly the reason: Link2

On the hand you have people who complain that riff raff like me stinks up their threads and want more moderation, on the other you have people like them who troll it up with pseudo science who want less.

Can't please everyone.

Oh man this brings me back. The CM debacle was one of my favorites, I think.

In secret? No, the whole affair was as public as can be. It's no surprise that we ban people for posting psuedoscience.

Know what else we ban people for? Trolling.

Bye.

Edit: In case it's unclear, this user had several rude/troll type posts, and a signature indicating an intent to troll. This kind of stuff is not tolerated here.
