I wasn't involved in the actual ban this time, though I was aware of the transgressions that led to it. Unfortunately, yes, Kris has a long record of warnings and temp bans. The most recent incident was simply the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.
I'll keep this thread up-to-date if there's anything else to report.

Just read through that thread. Given the offense, I think the discipline is a bit excessive, even with Kris's priors. It's like violating a man's parole for jaywalking. If I were still a Mod I'd have let that ride. AC's complaints withstanding.
It shouldn't be viewed as being banned for posting spoilers. It should be viewed as being banned for intentionally trolling. He simply used spoilers as the medium for that trolling.
This sums up my thoughts in the thread itself:

I don't mind Kris at all. But his list of offenses and bans was longer than many who are long since gone from the forums. This may not have been his biggest infraction, but he was on thin ice and should've known better. Hopefully this matter is put to rest shortly. Though I feel bad for the sake of the tourney.
