Yes.  The preceding remarks included the need
to ban a few people.  Over and over again,
when necessary.  And of such is the kingdom
of DIG.

I think we are not meant to know.

 
DIG has used both Google and AIOE for testing purposes.
Usually his test postings are injected directly at Ediacara,
 

 
I managed to sneak in without any particular problem.
Maybe there's not a lot of posts getting rejected?

 
Nothing gets ever rejected to begin with.
The group is bot-moderated against posters, not against posts.
You, and all your posts with you, get rejected only
when you manage to hit DIG's irogenenic zones hard enough
to generate sufficient ire to get him to program the bot
to kill you.
Few people have ever succeeded in doing that.
BTW, nym-shifting to avoid kill-files is forbidden.
IIRC someone, that is, all of him,
did succeed in getting banned for this reason.
 
Nando succeeded in getting banned once,
by flaunting a direct order, but even he is back again,
under two nyms even,
 

Yeah I think it takes a lot to raise DIG’s hackles. Didn’t jonathan the
complexity guy try and maybe succeed at suicide by moderator? Jabriol,
Prawnster, and DrDr stand out as rare occurrences if my memory is correct.

True, but only Jabbers has the distinction (AFAIK) of being
banned at the specific request of another newsgroup; a rape
support group IIRC. If you look up "a real piece of work"
you'll see Jabber's picture.
