The Ban Hammer™!

Followup to the previous: ITS have unleashed the Ban Hammer™:

People banned for spamming

ITS has a policy of suspending the computer accounts of people who send email to groups on campus that are off subject ...

Some people whose accounts have been suspended have been anxious because they have been unable to complete urgent university work. This problem can be avoided by taking care not to send junk mail.

Update: that's not stopped two more sending out similar spam emails (I say "spam", as while they are relevant to most students (free drinks, gig details etc.) I'm certainly not interested). I predict some very unhappy lusers come morning.

Yep, all present or accounted for none of them are mine.

My sources tell me that ITS, like any good group of BOfHs and PFYs, have their own stock of LARTs and Ban Hammers™.
