For the record, he was originally banned because of posting my private mail on the forum. The ban was not permanent. Regrettably this was not made clear at the time, but it has been since.

In my last few days as moderator, I also issued another infraction against Dean for what I saw as an ad-hominem attack on another member. Also I want to make it clear that because I thought it was an ad-hominem attack, does not make it so, but I thought it was, and was doing my job as a moderator as I saw it at the time.

Dean then posted the text of the infraction at AstroVera. During the debate about what to do, I proposed that all the infractions could be made public in a thread - however, one has to balance some other human factors there.

It has since been stated that the infraction system sucks - the public version of this is alluded to in Kerry's recent announcement. There is definitely mileage in that debate. However it is a moot point as it was consequently disabled. I am no longer a moderator, so I cannot tell if it it was ever re-enabled.

Assuming it has not, no-one, on Avalon at this moment has any "infractions" and cannot now be banned by accruing them.
