How many temporary bans...

[Richard]

sledger's banning is the mods decision & right, talking **** about him while he's not here doesn't seem quite right, though I guess it's happened with other posters, probably been guilty of it myself (BLE for example, and your good self with bond21, everyone with Rodgie).

There's a big difference here I think between bond21, SW\BLE and Rodgie and pretty much all others - everyone recognises that they're dickheads of the highest order and no-one was sorry when they were removed (in SW\BLE's case every time he's removed). Even the likes of Fiery and Murphy, who're gone and few suggest that their being gone for good is the wrong decision, they had those who liked them. So therefore besmirching them after they're gone doesn't seem quite right, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it with the case of bond21 etc. It's basically acknowledged in human society that the likes of them are lowlifes, and those types deserve whatever crap anyone says about them, to their face or behind their backs.

And certainly there's a difference between those who've been perm-banned (or perminantly or apparently perminantly departed of their own volition) and those who're on any length of temporary absence. I've possibly been guilty of besmirching those who I know are to return at some point (obviously many have been equally guilty of doing that to me during my own absences) but it really does smack of trying to grab what opportunity is there while it's there.

The fact that the types who are likely to attempt to besmirch sledger are by nature likely to be types who I have a very low opinion of ITFP, though, is the overwhelmingly important matter. To see those who you consider poor types throwing mud at your mates is particularly deplorable.

Shouldn't have been banned for either of those, IMO, unless the action had been wilful, which it clearly wasn't and your word should have been sufficient on that.

Nah on the second one we pretty much set up a duplicate account.. Think I even made a point of posting while on holiday in Namibia to give it a different IP

WTF is a besmirch?

How do you know it was well deserved if you don't know what it's for?

Top stuff, Andmark.
Keep up the good work.

He was killing the atmosphere in the forum. I wondered what he did to top it off with a bann.

Then my brother Murray Jones was just browsing through the Maddie McCann forums when he came across this place and he decided to use my computer to post.. Unfortunatly the mods didn't see it the right way and I got a week to think about what had happened..

So this was just a teensy weensy way short of the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeah..

For the first offence I had no idea what the picture had been changed to, so upon learning I had got banned, gave James a massive blast about how he ran his forums.. Then someone told me what my post actually looked like, and was like, oh..

 

[Sanz]

Like I say, it was a thorwaway comment, just a joke, and yeah, sledger has done plenty of thsoe things, and been banned for them before.

I haven't commented at any point on my thoughts on sledger's ban, I generally don't on mod decisions as they are their job not mine, and I get on very well with both James & Zac.

All that being said, I have seen a few posts expressing how glad people are that sledger has been banned, and it's a pile of dog****, he's been banned, so why talk **** about him now. There are plenty of people round here who are friends with sledger and I find it pretty disgusting to see posters talking about how much better CW will be without him how glad they are, how they wish he was banned for longer etc etc etc. I'm not going to report posts where this happens as it would be petty of me, but IMO they are comments which shouldn't be made.

sledger's banning is the mods decision & right, talking **** about him while he's not here doesn't seem quite right, though I guess it's happened with other posters, probably been guilty of it myself (BLE for example, and your good self with bond21, everyone with Rodgie).

But let's be honest, sledger is more the class clown than the school bully, yeah he does indeed break rules all the time but I can't think of too many posters that he actually upset or abused, so just let him serve his ban without having **** talked about him, IMO

But if people are going to question the decision to ban Sledger , mock it, pass sarcastic remarks about and defend him then they should be ready to hear Mod's response. And I believe Jack just did that, he wasn't talking **** about sledger, he just said what is true.

Please note, I am not talking **** about the guy, just responding to your point.

I wasn't saying Jack was talking **** about him; you are right, of course the mods should respond with reasons as to why he is banned.

As I said earlier, my comment to jack was just a joke, nothing more, I am sorry if people got upset by such cutting remarks, I am sure they will ruin Jack's Christmas

 

[Uppercut]

It must be surreal for people that have been banned to see people discussing them completely openly without being able to respond. Like watching your own funeral, almost. I wonder how people would discuss me if i were banned

Yeah, its a bit harsh to slag people off once their banned, but its not as if there's been that much of it... Bond21 on the other hand...

I wonder how people would discuss me if i were banned

I'd open with, "Who?"

 

[Uppercut]

I'd open with, "Who?"

Haha, WRT CW, that would (falsely) reassure me that i had not posted regularly enough to notice being banned. But regarding death, i struggle to think of a worse response for people to come up with

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Bring back Fiery.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Bring back Fiery.

Well, now Perm's banned...

 

[Richard]

Perm's going to have had almost as many bans as Fiery at this rate.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

How many bans has TEC had?
