That suspension is now lifted after 1 week.

Nemesis Juggernaut - 24 hour suspendion by Admin
The hovertext message:
See first paragraph of his Message 22. In prior discussions I'm sure Nemesis Juggernaut innocently confounded being gay with the sexual abuse of children, but he no longer has this excuse. --Admin
As I type this, the suspension has 14+ hours yet to run. The original suspension must have been 24 hours, as there are no available options between 12 and 24 hours.

ps: Also look upthread for other recent news.

Nemesis Juggernaut suspension extended to 1 week
The new version of the hovertext message:
1 week - See here. Responding to another members message in a "no responses" topic, with a specific warning two messages up. Also, in general being a twit. - Adminnemooseus
See also Admin's reply to the above cited message. It includes:
Admin writes:
I was trying to decide whether to suspend you for one week or two when I noticed you were already suspended. Consider yourself lucky that Adminnemooseus saw this first.
At the time of the original suspension I was up late into the night. I thought the original 2 day suspension to be a minimum, subject to being extended. Upon reviewing Admin's message and re-reviewing NJ's message, I see that NJ was an even bigger twit than my original "quick skim" impression. I see that 1 week seems to be a good minimum suspension. It is set to thus, the week starting now.

Molbiogirl - 1 week suspension
Molbiogirl has returned after a one month absence and has posted a series of messages consisting largely of (more or less) caustic one-liners, at the "Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes" topic.
This is a difficult situation in that the only admin having any interest in that topic is Admin/Percy, who is the topic starter and also the primary participant. As such, he has disqualified himself from doing any moderator activity there.
At the risk of being or appearing to be a puppet admin and/or brown-noser, I must say that Percy has a long history of posting high quality messages. Molbiogirl, on the other hand, has a shorter history of often being caustic. I believe I have previously suspended her at least once, long before the current contentious topic came into existence.
Or something like that.

A fine little collaboration they have going, in the Discovery or Ignorance: The Choice Is yours? topic. Anyone else doing like messages?

Artemis Entreri - 24 hour suspension
For ongoing troll like behavior and, in general, poor quality messages.
Example: See here and up-thread.
This forum is primarily a text based exchange of ideas. Plastering the site with YouTube videos doesn't cut it. Post your thoughts and use links, YouTube video, etc. as support.
Also - Get to having a good relationship with your keyboard's "shift" key. Persistently neglecting to capitalize words correctly, especially at sentence beginnings, tends to really piss me off.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
