Nothing is certain in this life save death. Much the same is true for comment status on Gawker; it can be rescinded at any time. For three commenters, that time is now. Today's executees:

Executed: mr-scribbles
Crime: Outing Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

Executed: Roman Hans
Crime: What, it was too subtle for you in the post?

Executed: Blue Ribbon
Crime: Critiquing posts critiquing the NYTimes.com ad nauseum is not amusing or comment-worthy. You have to try a little harder.

Disputants may consult the Gawker Comments FAQ, section 5. However, note also that this manner of death isn't really permanent. Banned commenters may return through invitations or through future general amnesties. Existing commenters should also feel free to nominate other commenters for future bannings; doing so will, of course, raise one's own potential banning profile.
