Question on ban announcements

[Starfighter]

Anyone else find that a member being banned means that they no longer appear in the member list under community? Makes to annoying to find out what they were banned for without reading some horrid threads.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, it's deliberately set up that way.

 

[Burgey]

Nobody who doesn't read that thread already will know what you are talking about lad.

Just another POV. Someone needed to sit down and have a cuppa and a nice chat with him. That would have solved the problem. Can’t believe his #freedom(TM) has been impinged like this.

 

[Daemon]

Surely given his posting history mrpiggy should just be perma'd?

 

[GIMH]

Why is Cabinet giving out Ban Annoucements? Can we only have actual real mods do them in future please.

New decade = a new reign of terror commencing. I'd be wary taking cheap shots if I were you.

 

[andmark]

Wishing a stroke on someone is a new one AFAIK

 

[Burgey]

What was the context for that comment?

If you're referring to my comment, someone was banned for apparently wishing a stroke on someone.

If you're referring to the banned person's comment, the hell if I know.

I am the fourth most powerful person on this forum and you aren't in the top three so I'm not too worried

The mrpiggy situation has to be the greatest miscarriage of justice I've ever seen on this forum. And we all lived through watson being treated no better than the Count of Monte Cristo.

I looked over that post history PEWS, I combed it. Apart from referencing jizz I thought it was all in fine order.

 

[Burgey]

Gnske, can you please provide a link to the thread where said posting took place?

I mean the guy is from Leeds so he's just communicating civilly in his common tongue. His ban represents some unashamed level of implicit racism.

 

[Burgey]

It seems to me that well established and highly respected CW member ajdude invited MrPiggy's response by invoking a cerebral event himself. I think the reporting of the subsequent post and the ban which followed is very heavy handed. I mean, Shri only copped three months for wishing someone dead. With a bit of rehab you can overcome a stroke. Seems OTT to me tbh.

You know there is a Walkabout in Leeds.........Just saying.

Seems like the mods should be sent to rehab, tbh.

 

[Burgey]

I agree, but they say no, no, no

They'er all over the place over there aren't they? I've seen a few of them around but never been in, I mean, why would you when you're traveling and all. I presume they're a pretty terrible take on what's meant to be an Australian country pub?

So, still better than anything else in England (and I literally mean anything), but not a patch on the real thing.

 

[sledger]

They are dreadful places.

I think a lot of them are shutting down these days though.

Walkabout used to piss me off... was one of the few places you could go try watch some decent rugby when the tri-nations was on, and you would get there to find the place was full of some football nobs watching some 3rd division club match.
