did the game end?
Looks like it finished not long after the forum post.
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=855765220.
Only 166 mins, rather than the three hours mentioned. And from the results page a missed opportunity to timeout one of the players and claim the default win. No idea if that time out was more than a few seconds though.
It also looks like one of the accounts has been modorated until 2300. That's a year, not a 24h clock time.

2 hours and 46 minutes is outrageously long for a real time Catan game!

2300? Wowzers. I'm trying to think what's bad enough to cop a 274 yr moderation, but not bad enough to not just be permanently banned. LOL

Great question.
Thankfully the report feature states that BGA will stop a player from making new accounts if they keep getting banned. Maybe this will happen soon? I've tracked about 20 accounts so far -so here's hoping.

I'm really curious on why they do this? Like what's the purpose of it? Are they just mentally unwell?

i am playing with a strange player called sallii
she is not ending the game
i can not do anything.
is has been 3 hours.
i don't want to quit.
what should i do??
If the other player ran over the time allowed by BGA, why couldn't you expel them from the game?
The other player(s) never ran over time.
In the beginning of the game they are trading their wood and clay back and forth until they have completely blocked in the 3rd player with roads. Then they trade their ore, wheat, sheep to one player such that they secure largest army. At this moment, when they know the 3rd player cannot win (2 cities + 5 victory cards = 9 VP max), they stall the game.
They offer 15+ ressources to the 3rd player and repeat this trade until he accepts. They do not build but just waste their ressources. This can go on for hundreds of moves and for several hours. Harassement in chat and on the public activity area of the 3rd player included...
Of course they are reported and their accounts are deleted. But that adds to their fun - they open new accounts and continue.

Most likely.
More new accounts have been created.
In fact there's so many of them that I've lost count.
Same behaviors, same style of insults, rinse and repeat.
In some cases, they will use 3 accounts at the same time against 1 unsuspecting player just to "troll" them.
It's been years and it will not stop.
