...ah, seems like he made a comment in the lines of 'most of the people causing the London riot aren't white' or something like that...in the thread in off topic...

Flem has explained moderator reasons for GF's ban in the Site Discussion thread. If you have questions please email us directly. Certainly any kind of triumphalist or amused responses to the ban will be frowned upon by mods.

Do you mind me asking which posts got him over the infraction limit? I understand he's been somewhat unruly during this series, but I can't think of anything he might have said recently that could have got him banned.

Who does he think he is?

Personally I don't think it's really necessary to go into individual posts. As Flem has said, the infraction was not for one post in particular, it was for "continued posting in a manner detrimental to the forum atmosphere (including overt attempts to bait and unprovoked personal attacks) consistently over an extended period despite warnings from moderators."

At the moment, I fear this game won't be taking place. Already started to kick off nearby and a colleague of mine's husband has let her know that the police kicked them all out of their offices in central Birmingham mid afternoon.

He received an email from the mods informing him that, basically, they don't like him. They included a link to six or seven posts, only one of which could be deemed infractable but which was dealt with on the spot by our match thread moderator (he called Cevno a moron). Other posts included a reference to Tendulkar failing under pressure and calling SS a ****** in jest. He was awarded 20 infraction points in one go and banned for three months although for some reason the mods are only saying one month, which means its either dodgy as **** or they don't have a ****ing clue what they are doing (I personally think both, to be fair).

Infractions were brought in to make things transparent, but it's clear that this place is as inconsistent as ever. All the mods that voted for this decision and all the other ****ty ones lately need to ask themselves some serious questions. Yes, Furball is a mate, but anyone who thinks he is the first guy who comes to mind when it comes to people wrecking the forum atmosphere is deluded.

I have plenty more to say on this issue but I eagerly look forwards to some power-crazy moderator wiping my post like it never happened.

Furball isn't the only guy whose been on the ****ty end of these decisions lately, but I've not seen the mods target someone like this in a while. Probably since they tried to perma sledger just before the 09 Ashes.

Yeah, seems very much in the balance. Probably depends on what happens tonight.

 

[GIMH]

Reckon they'll call it off or just abandon day one? Four days is enough anyway

And there I was hoping the riots wouldn't reach CW.

Looks like there'll be a fair bit of rain tomorrow, and more on Thursday.

Bugger.

Potentially good news on the riot front though tbh, piss it down for a few days and the old bill can round up the worst offenders

 

[Howe_zat]

I've spent my hard-scrounged cash here!

 

[superkingdave]

Surely being a Yorkie you'd be well acquainted with the ECB refunds service last couple of times I've tried to watch England at Headingly its been a washout.
