I believe the permanent ban was put in place for saying "sup niggas?" but I'll have to consult my logs. This wretched linguistic transgression was particularly outstanding because two years prior I made the gross mistake of posting a link to a girl with pretty eyes.com in the channel, and so was under heavy scrutiny by moderation. Of course, at that time I had just come back from a long hiatus, and when I had left a girl with pretty eyes linking was still an AMV chat tradition. It became apparent that things had already changed dramatically by 2005.
Edit: Found it.

Basically AES got offended at my tongue-in-cheek use of clearly highly-sensitive racial slurs and the "moderation team" decided to submit to her authority for whatever reason, despite the fact that Alan, Jay, and occasionally Jeremy are generally sensible people.
The funny thing is, I used to be ops and a member of #amv-staff. But that was before any of the kiddies that run the place today took over. NME and I watched that place spiral out of control after birthing it with the cooperation of AD. This kind of thing is exactly what I was talking about in the original post.
