I apologize beforehand for the bloated post. I'm posting here because I heard this was an honest-for-goodness banned-for-life banning. I don't think permanent banning does the mod any good 99% of the time. That said, there is that 1%, but I can't think of a situation where it would be needed. Well, I can, but this isn't one of them.

However, posting a thread on various different glitches and then refusing to tell the mapmakers how you did it (so they can fucking fix it) is a pretty good reason for a ban.

Agreed, though the fact that he posted pictures is somewhat helpful.
As for his sentence, I think it was perma-banned?
Of course, perma-banned doesn't mean banned for life.
Admin bans can be either temporary (1 hour) or "permanent". Permanent does not mean permanent in most cases, usually it's a day or two. If you are in a rush or think you have been unjustly banned, post in EU or NA unban sections (read the first post and follow the rules). Again, civilized behavior might do you some good, raging/lying just prolongs the duration of the punishment.

And I'll go ahead and address it, 'cause it's bound to come up,
Permanent does not mean permanent in most cases, usually it's a day or two....
So that 1% I mentioned? I think that's for people who are repeatedly ruining the mod for everyone they are in contact with, after
several warnings and temp bans. Is Jona an ass at times? Without a doubt. Does he fit the bill for a life-long banning? I don't think so. Give him a week in the showers (at most), mute him on the forums a few days if you must and let us move on.
