IIRC, it was asking why the James Webb Space Telescope wouldn't be able to produce aesthetically pleasing Hubble-type images. What rule did that break?

1. The post was by a spammer
who had included a link to a commercial product at the bottom of their post. This is a pretty common spammer tactic -- instead of using spambots, they pay real people to join in the discussions on message boards but then use their posts to create links to products or services, to increase their search engine ranking. We ban people when we catch them doing this.
