Dear TranslatorsCafe.com members,

This is to inform you that Mr. Werner Patels has been banned from this website and won't be allowed to restore his membership at any point in the future. We have been forced into this unfortunate decision because Mr. Patels has not been able to desist from frequently insulting his colleagues and abusive behaviour in general.

Mr. Patels has been warned many times. In November 2003 his membership was suspended for a period of three months but after coming back he has continued to abuse people both at TC forums and in private emails sent via TranslatorsCafe.com.

We deeply apologise to all the members who may have been subjected to such behaviour and reaffirm our commitment to maintaining an environment of friendly and respectful discussion. The rules and guidelines aiming to protect such an environment will be strictly enforced in the future.
