What I did see from Megan didn't seem any reason to close her account and delete her posts. Certainly she was passionate about her arguments, but that is no reason to ban someone.

Paul P Clement accused her of being 'Mike or Karl'; then Cor Ligthert said "Karl or Mike, whoever it was started spamming old VB6 threads with all kind of links, therefore the account of him is removed from this forum.".

As all her posts are removed it is difficult to know the truth. Crazypennie assured me that she was removed for spamming other threads and I am happy to accept that. I do think that banning Megan was an over-reaction though, it looks (at best) like punishing her for her enthusiasm.

I didn't see any posts in any other threads but then I didn't look. I would suggest that banning the user was punishment for not obeying the instructions of a moderator. If they were spamming unrelated threads and refused to stop when told to do so then that is grounds for being banned, whatever other good that user may have done.
