-It doesn't matter if you think the product is lousy or that better is available. Unless the seller is a known scam artist probably best to publicly remain silent.

-If you think a buyer is headed down a wrong road, or you think the seller may have his product mispriced or misrepresented, the proper course of action is a private message.

It wasn't his buy sell thread.

Ok thanks that answers the first question.

What about this one??>>

I have seen a couple of posters with "banned" in small letters under their name (like where yours says "administrator" or BrownBear416 and under his it says
"Moderator"). Does this mean they are actually banned or is it something that they, themselves, have added?

You can still see banned members usernames. They will have "Banned: beneath them.

These people cannot post and only exist is the historical content of AO

I'm not sure they really care? It's not all wildflowers and free love in their world, either.

Arn?Narn is correct. They only exist in the historical context of the forum.

LOL...uh legal action..over an internet forum? I'd love to hear that telephone conversation;
"Hello police? There's a guy on the internet who's bugging me and calling me names..."

As for tracking IP's, dial-up users get dynamic IP's (always changing) and a person with a static IP can just use a Proxy Server to get a different IP. Combine that with unlimited emails and it's next to impossible for Admin to completely ban a person.

(yes I know he is banned, but he will likely be back to read the thread)

Not so, just as a hacker can hide his IP, many people have the ability to track spoof IP's back to the source, for a nominal fee. Anyone making threats for example can be very easily searched out.

Lol this has to be the most ironic post I've ever seen.

Not strictly true (I work in the industry).

If you want anonymity, it's out there - and I'm not talking about silly proxies or anonymizer websites. There are free solutions out there that can't be traced or tracked by even governments and intelligence agencies.

It's almost certainly not what these script-kiddies are using. They are just using plain old proxies and anonymizers.
