Not sure if that will be happening anytime soon. Don't think that blogpost will have helped. No he's not... i've seen him banned twice maybe?

they are probably banned for infractions. Since they post a lot, i think the chance to get an infraction for "running up post/post has no value" is pretty big, and that's why they get banned for certain periods.
