Pardon? How is removed and barred from all subsequent airings not banned? How is prohibited from the DVD's not banned? Even if it's only in one country that constitutes as banned. Even if it's only one network. If something is prohibited or barred that's considered a ban. Furthermore a ban can be something as simple as collective public condemnation, which is rather arbitrary when you think about it, but if enough people speak against it can be socially banned as well.

I'm assuming you downvote the use of ban because it is not barred by law (unless you have issues with the fact the archaic origins of "ban" mean to lay a curse upon, in which case please disregard entire message for this was probably not cursed) but ban can refer to the authority over the property. When someone gets banned from VS is that because we are governed by laws or a set of rules with authority figures to govern over this. In this case the authority figure Fox, who controls the content even when it is sent to syndicated bodies such as CTN, decided it no longer fit within their rules (which can change) and barred it from further airings.

However overall I do understand the intent of your downvote. Frankly I even posted this because I was upset with the recent top rated FG clip that claimed to be "banned" when it was merely cut, not even prohibited or cut. So I would like to chalk this up to being a casualty of you fighting the good fight, but if I'm wrong and ban is only meant as prohibited by Law I welcome the backup on that as well.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
I'm gonna keep downvoting until you learn what "banned" means.

>> ^charliem:
Ive seen that episode air in australia, wasnt banned here.


I would chalk that up to either when you saw it or Aussie's being less uptight about it. But I initially saw it on tv, and my roommate and I had it downloaded and then noticed that repeats omitted that clip.
