Touting draws the civil death penalty in SI. It looks like Jill has already zeroed his post out, and mebbe him as well, I don't know:

You're gonna get thrown off SI doing that.
Notice that the post number, which would usually appear in the parens next to the miscreant's name ("David D.") is gone, as is his message. The remaining posts have been renumbered. A famous SI personage was recently tossed off the board on a very questionable (but not crazy) call by SI; fortunately, the fans' clamor, and some fair-minded reevaluation by SI of its action, returned the guy (who shall, as an ñinnocent, remain nameless) to his throne, which occasioned the SI equivalent of a welcome-home parade, accompanied by chanting, the beating of drums, the tooting of horns, and a voicing of general merriment at the state of the world. :>)
AFTER EDIT: He's still around, apparently-- probably just got a demerit for making an innocent mistake. SI is merciful. |
