What the hell is this?
The Automated Ban List is one of the most perused threads on TL for veterans and masochists to join in the mutual suffering and schadenfreude of watching others and occasionally ourselves get banned. Since we seem to enjoy as many bans as possible we've made an FPL group that will magically give the smartest guy superpowers each week. To join the group simply go here and press the plus sign next to "Join Group" to add yourself to it.
Why do this horrible thing?
Why do you think we hold a popularity contest?? Epeen!
Also the highest scorer per week will be able to choose and ban anyone in the group for a sum of 2 days. And don't you think about dropping out of the group and whistling non-nonchalantly once it looks bad, man up and take your chances like everyone else! I will also keep a list of participants just in case you are a scaredy cat. I also spend 12 hours a day doing FPL so I will notice if someone leaves.
Rules:
1. Every week the top scorer gets to ban somebody within the group.
2. The same person can not be banned on consecutive weeks, but may be banned as many times as the FPL period will allow, and you can not ban yourself.
3. Post a reason in this blog along with your ban target when you do so and it will be included in the OP.
4. You should submit your ban target at most 2 days after the week's FPL results are released (so Thursday of the next week, presumably if everything works right).
5. If you do not ban a target before the following Friday (making the ban extend till after the next week's results), you forfeit your ban opportunity. There are no other penalties.
6. The ban target has to go to The Automated Ban List and request a temp 2 day ban with the reason "ABL FPL". If you do not do this, or if you fail to do this before the following Friday, you will be removed from the participants list and everyone on the list will scorn you and laugh at your cowardice for all ages. Since we are all masochists we probably won't have a problem with this.
7. The same person can only ban a maximum of once a month, if the same person is the highest scorer consecutively, the ban gets handed down to the next highest, and so on. So in the case that the top 4 is consistent for the entire month, all top 4 get a chance to ban.
8. Please don't make an alternate account just to join this group so you have a higher chance to ban someone. This means you, The_Templar. Wait, that's me.

Yay. All you doubted Roro.
Alright I choose cokefreak Why? I just want to see the reaction. Unless you guys can give men another target with a good enough reason.

hopefully caihead doesn't mind that I pretty much copy-pasted his OP
