I remember the days of Franck beefing here w/ Polish Aristocrat.. all kinds of classic threads views and business! These nicknames/people come and go of course and many people are banned over the years. Baddog is not a fake nick. Personally I don't have any issues with Baddog, he played a unique role of being the industry photographer along side JFK and Michael. He is not affiliated with the Advertisers, Content or Traffic programs, does not compete with Affiliates does not cause any harm. Seems like the issue here is difference of opinions between people or industry friends. I don't think he actually created drama enough for Advertisers to stop paying. The board is a lot slower these days and this thread brought out many old school names out and many opinions from active ones!
GFY must have a long list of blocked users, how many ?

It's difficult to weigh in because I'm not privy to everything that has happened, and discussed and to how the GFY mods set + apply their rules.
I don't know to what extent Baddog went to deserve the latest ban.
I do know he has harassed (at least one) member of the industry outside of the boards. Also, if you look at his post history in the past few months, you may notice a steady decline in the quality of his posts to a point where it's debatable if he crossed the line between trolling by playing the character of a grumpy old man to exhibiting outright toxic behaviour.
Taking that into consideration; I can understand why the decision to remove him from this community was made.
Would I make the same decision? I don't know because I don't have all of the facts at my disposal.
