1. You were suspended for a week for breaking the [Code of Conduct](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/faq) that you agreed to abide by when you chose to create an account here.

Specifically:

> Examples of unacceptable behavior include:  
> Trolling and insulting or derogatory comments.

and

> Please do not:  
> Go Off-Topic: Derailing topics to a different subject other than the intent of the threads original post

1. A second thread by you was closed for the reason I already stated:

> [@What a hell](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/what-a-hell/50403/5):
>
> Both the posts in those screenshots already exist on this forum, if you want to debate it further use the existing thread. Creating a new thread like this so users can pile on to “shame” them for their opinions and free speech is unacceptable. Per the [CoC](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/faq) please do not: Deliberately provoke arguments to cause unrest on the forum. Thread is closed.

But your account incurred no suspension at that time.

1. The good thing about this forum is that it’s members have the ability to flag things they feel are inappropriate or require a moderators attention. That is what has happened with this third post by you titled “Controversial Topics” wherein you decided to post content relating to CIA conspiracies and hermaphrodite children. This obviously has nothing to do with Zcash and is a deliberate attempt to push the boundaries of the rules on the forum. As such it was flagged three times by different forum members and was automatically hidden by the system. I agreed with those flags and the post remains removed.

2. Your last post “Since I have been censored here on the forum” wherein you created a brand new X account to cross-post your efforts to get yourself suspended by continuing to violate the rules. This is an obvious attempt to bully the moderators of this forum into not taking action against your account for fear that they may somehow be shamed on social media for enforcing the rules.

> Are you guys from the CIA or the NSA and think that topics like this that are not censored on X need to be censored here?

1. This is not X. We have higher standards for discourse and want all Zcash users regardless of race, sex, background or political affiliation to feel welcome, respected and comfortable meeting at a neutral venue for everyone to discuss things relating to Zcash and it’s ecosystem. The Zcash Foundation has a reasonable and clearly defined set of standards in the [Code of Conduct](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/faq).

Since it’s obvious that you do not intend to abide by the rules you agreed to by creating an account here, this being the fourth time you have violated them, your account is hereby permanently suspended.
