Let's not get on elusion's case yet. Unlike Release Me, he did not say how long he has been on the site reading the forum, nor did he claim to have been reading the forum prior to becoming registered. I myself was here for a week or so before I posted for the first time. I was interested in perusing some of the recent history before I became comfortable posting.
So to answer his question, Release Me is banned because of the subject and the manner in which it was presented. There are only a handful of strict rules to abide by and most people adhere to them. If you are unsure, just read the two or three sticky posts at the top of page one of this forum.
