Honestly, what BV asks isn't a lot, and it is only fair
No, he doesn't ask a lot, but there's a big discrepancy between why BV says people get banned and why a whole bunch of this site's best posters seem to have actually been banned of late. That's why this conversation started. The board is qualitatively poorer without these people, and when it seems that many were banned for no real reason others are going to get upset about it. IORR's rules are extremely ambiguous (perhaps intentionally so).
Also, none of this is as simple as we're led to believe, since nobody on this board actually starts threads entitled 'I hate Mick Jagger'. The idea that 'do not offend' works as a principle for moderating a website is just daft, frankly. On IORR, it's totally meaningless, since a bunch of posters regularly take offence at others continuing to discuss Mick Taylor, occasionally criticising the band's playing and entertaining the possibility that not everything Keith Richards says is true.

Who were some of the banned prolific posters to jog my memory?
Thanks,

I'm probably not the only one who logged on this morning and looked to see if onlystones was still with us. Not a trace he ever existed. Kind of unfortunate that it probably took quite a bit of Bjornulf's time and effort to erase all those posts. Lot of words could describe him but subtle certainly isn't one of them.

Vanished into thin air.....
Especially on a music forum dedicated to a band with a song entitled "@#$%& blues". Hell, we can't even say the word in the title of the song, it's censored!Quote

I repeat - who in their right minds gets offended by anything said on a music forum. Honestly, you'd have to be emotionally incontinent to get upset by anything that anyone types here.

I'm still learning how to post properly, respond to other posters. I hope so far my posts have gotten by without offens(I'm never sure, you see). I keep trying to contribute without looking foolish in front of the informative and/or 'IORRians' with deeper knowledge of the Stones (than me).
But I'd like to keep trying, and stay within the guidelines of B.V.'s posting policy.

I'd say you're off to a nice start with this very polite post. Welcome, nightskyman.
