Banned after he tried to delete Arkat's account.
stainer didn't try to delete my account, he actually succeeded. My account was the first one Strakeln ever successfully resurrected.

Strakeln made him a mod for about a week after a pissing contest about moderating.
Mostly true.
Strak and a few others like J$, Gunga, and Oakianus had been going back and forth about Strak's moderation/ownership style (that is almost no moderation). Oak, Gunga, and J$ somehow felt repressed so they kept shooting their mouths off at the site owner (Strak) for no real reason.
So, just to show them how bad it could be, Strak decided to make stainer a moderator and gave his blessing to whatever stainer did. Strak also decided to make me a mod to sort of be a counterbalance.
The one thing stainer and I had to promise was not to mess with each other's or any other mod's accounts.
While I was a mod I pretty much undid the harm that stainer did. Unfortunately, I made an error and deleted someone's post about an exploit I believe. When I say "error" I do not mean I mistakenly removed it. I did it on purpose, which was my error.
Anyway, in a private section of the boards which moderators and a few others can see, stainer totally went nuts on me. I realized I did screw up and I put as much of the post back as I could. Most of it was restored but not perfectly.
Despite my efforts to remedy that error, stainer kept attacking me. He made several threats (including one to chone me) and I finally had enough. I posted a simple reply like "Just try me" or "Try it" or something like that and that's when he deleted my account.
stainer had broken the one rule Strak gave him and after a few contentious exchanges between he and Strak, Strak banned him.
You may find some old posts from stainer and you'll notice his "Arkat's Bitch" title. This comes from the fact I purposefully goaded him into doing something (choning) to my account.
I hadn't actually planned his banning. I was hoping Strak would smack stainer's pee pee hard enough that he would just either shut the fuck up, just go away, or stop fucking with people in general and me in particular. My plan's results were much better than expected and the best part was I got stainer to do it to himself.
