Extraordinarily useful WordPress tool: WP Ban
Now - here’s where you come in: currently if you’ve been banned, the message you see is “You’ve been banned.” which I think we can agree is neither creative, clever or as painful as I’d like it to be.
Comments are open for submissions…go!

I’ll start things off with a bit of an IM exchange with dpb:
Him: I was thinking that instead of saying “banned” it would just give the 404 Not Found message or something…
Me: nah, then they’d just email me to tell me my site is down
Him: good point…
Me: “you are the weakest link”
Him: “good bye!”
Him: “It’s not me, it’s you.”
Him: how about listing them all… just keep adding to it…like, “You’ve been banned. You are the weakest link, goodbye. It’s not me, it’s you…” and on and on…
Him: start it off with, “One of the following applies to you. Think about what you did and select the appropriate message.”

Dear Friend, You have been banned from this site, but due to your apparent regard for what appears to be some sort of attraction to me, I feel you deserve an explanation. My therapist, my dog, my six children, my parents, the guy in my basement, and most of the Atlanta Falcons also believe you are owed an explanation, but I’m not sure which personality of mine it is that you find most appealing. You do realize that I’m actually a guy, right? This site is a joke. My ex-girlfriend, Maigh, is a freak, and I don’t mean that in any way whatsoever that is remotely appealing. As far as I know, she isn’t available, and even if she were, she wouldn’t be worth pursuing unless you’d been up to date on your shots, never been to Malaysia, had a European car that didn’t look like a sedan, wore Jean Paul Gaultier – Homme when working in the yard, and promoted underground cock fighting events. Seriously, I get that you’d be fascinated by her—I was myself—but turn your attention back to your myspace page. You’ll have more luck, you’ll meet more interesting people, and I won’t feel bad about the fact that you didn’t get that this site was a joke in the first place.

I’m just sorry you’re getting enough nasty comments to go this route.
Please don’t ban me.

Thanks Seth…though it’s not nasty comments exactly, it’s something else.
Alas, I set up shop in the Bloggosphere I couldn’t really think it would be all sunshine and rainbows and kitty no paws…what!? It can!?

I’m curious….is there such a thing for beta-blogger? I was hoping to weed out some undesirables.

There’s a line from the 2001 movie A Knight’s Tale, that I think fits….
“You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.”
