First, JayJhabrix got banned from posting...
Now it's Jhabrix that's banned... and not a by your leave nor explanation! In neither case was a message sent giving a warning of any kind nor a reason for the inability to post.
Someone is getting very personal and, for some reason, 'Jhabrix' seems to be like a red flag to a bull! 
I wonder how long:
1/ This post / thread will last
2/ How long it will be before this avatar of Jhabrix is banned!!
And, if any moderator chooses to read between the lines, you'll realise this post very much is a comment on the Forums and on this Forum.

Must be the result of folding of space that went too far past the mid point and ending up in the future. What results is a post the day before it happens. Just a theory. I am working on the proof. Need beta testors.
There was a post or thread by Jhabrix on Jive and the whole time-space continuum thing... can't remember the context though... maybe something to do with the speed of the site and the fact that actually, it seemed so slow but wa really so fast that it was already in the future when we were still in the past?
Maybe something like arriving at a station to catch a train... the train's already left... you don't know... and you keep thinking the train's so slow, it's so late...
Hi Phillip
Moderators have no ability to ban anyone. Only Adobe personnel have that capability.
Moderators do have an ability to suggest to Adobe that someone be banned, but to be honest, the person being banned has to have exhibited some pretty severe behavior in order to warrant banning. Adobe seems to have a high tolerance threshold for bad behavior.
So no, you cannot be banned simply because a moderator were to dislike or disagree with you. Banning only comes as a last step after Adobe personnel have reviewed the situation and deemed the infractions severe enough that banning is the only resort.

Erm, excuse me, I AM THE REAL JJ !!
I do not do rampages. This other interloper is just getting the initials a bad reputation.
Now, now calm down.... He was talking about JayJhabrix aka JJ... actually, a member here much longer than you... since 2003. Trouble was JJ usually came in thru the NNTP side... using the web interface only since 2005 or '06 for just the Illustrator forums... so his post count, etc. is very low.
And yes, this arbitrary blocking and deleting and locking probably got him worked up enough to speak up on behalf of everyone else...

So you were sorta streatching the truth when you introduced yourself as Jhabrix a while back by implying you were new and looking forward to being part of the forums?
Did i say that? I never said anything. In fact, i haven't even introduced myself to the forums!!
While Adobe folk don't make a habit of posting in this forum, they do see the posts that fly around in here. That's why you see John Cornicello occasionally post.
Just some observations...
I noticed the last post from Jay Jhabrix occurred on 9/1 (according to the messages in my In-Box)
Then on 9/2 Jhabrix emerges and is tolerated until 9/14.
Then on 9/16 Jhabrix Jay emerges and cites:
"Now it's Jhabrix that's banned... and not a by your leave nor explanation! Someone is getting very personal and, for some reason, 'Jhabrix' seems to be like a red flag to a bull!"
Tell me these three names don't belong to the same individual.
What baffles me is the bit about the claim "it's personal". Just because someone changes identities doesn't change the circumstances that got them banned to begin with. By doing so it's a continuation of the practice of goading moderation or banning. Likely only so that they can point out how unfair things have seemingly become.
Happy Monday all... Rick

I think it is highly unlikely that Adobe would enter a public discussion of why certain individuals have been banned. The Adobe Community Guidelines are pretty clear. They state in part:
That's true, and as I've said before this is Adobe's private property where technically they're dictator but I'm not challenging that. I'm just challenging this claim:

I don't think "Maybe it was JJ posting 10 antagonistic threads in a span of 2 days " (and ban afterwards) as Harbs put it really demonstrates "high tolerance". Seems like pretty low tolerance to me. 
But whatever, at the end of the day, I don't really care, so why continue?
He has been posting on occasion in the Premiere Elements forum. Seems that he's getting into video and sharing his expertise. I'd not call him a "regular," but pops in from time to time.
I'll be sure to let him know that he's missed.
Thank you for that.
(A wonderful man, or at least he comes across as such on-line. Gentle, respectful, courteous, patient, good-natured.... I haven't enough nice things to say about him. He is my (and many others') ideal forum host in most, if not all respects. If anything, maybe a little TOO nice at times, but I can deal with that. )
