Hootie was banned for costing the CP gambling cabal half their money the very first week (or whatever it was) with his "expertise", and then melting down here after they kicked him out.
(Which was an effective demonstration of the strength of his supposed football and gambling acumen, which was zero)
That was probably the most unique banning ever, because he was banned mostly for actions outside the Planet.
But Hootie had been banned a dozen times before for being the board's second most prolific douche, and he was only allowed back after a mod "vouched" for him. When Hootie cost he and the rest of the people who thought they would game the DFS system real-life money, he had no defenders left with any influence.
If you're a blackbob type you won't last long, but long-term douches with influence over someone can manage to stick around. Hootie and Claynus just lost theirs.
Bottom line, this place is much better without them and their supposed expertise, and the mods are getting things right now.
