Hypo

Er, yes it is and yes he has. Admittedly he'd changed his user name to Mole at that point, but he'd been posting as Stanley on this forum, not a predecessor, for quite some time. He's been banned from this site's predecessors under various user names as well, but that's another story. After Mole's banning, which was a permanent one I believe, he popped back up as Dune.

 

Now, I'm not remotely interested in getting Dune (or anyone else for that matter) banned; if infractions and bans are to be issued it's down to the mods and administrators. And, as it's impossible to take Dune seriously, I can't get worked up about his presence on here. But I can't help thinking of that old saying about sauce, goose and gander...

 

Maybe Dune (and previous incarnations) is a user ID created and used by the mods / admins as a way of stirring up reaction and generating traffic on their forum?

 

There again, perhaps not...

Not lost on me, Stanley has never been banned on THIS FORUM.

I understand the frustrations on here and I'll speak with the other Mods and admin in respect of reviewing the recent actions.

 

Wrong. Not that i'd want him banned but there is no consistancy.

It's only July but I think we already have a winner for funniest thread of the year award. Tears rolling down my face catching up with the last page or so. And all this entertainment for a fiver. Bargain :-)

 

To be fair, registered users who haven’t paid their fiver can also read this so your spending hasn’t contributed to you tears!

I think it's a shame to see another two users banned, when I originally joined a couple of years ago there was a good diversity of posters. There was lots of different discussion, each and every thread had varying argument, people fell out but that's what is to be expected on a forum. I don't necessarily agree with some posters comments here but I wouldn't be offended if I'd appeared to have upset someone by my comments either, the same if it was the other way around.

On an occasion here when I thought Hypo may have misunderstood what I'd posted I Pm'd him as I didn't want a post I'd made to be blown out of proportion with other users. We exchanged a couple of messages and all was good, all polite with no offence taken on either of our parts and both of us realising we'd misunderstood each other.

 

I don't think banning Users is constructive to a Forum and whether people like certain users of a Forum or not, the overall quality of it is lost when many of the main contributors disappear. I'm not saying Users shouldn't be banned if there are overtly offensive and upsetting the Forum as a whole, but for all the posters that have been banned since I've been here I can really only see one worthy of the Ban they received. Thankfully, he has been gone for a good long while now, and deservedly so for some despicable posts.

Who was that?

I'm guessing he's referring to that noob Stanley.

 

Or possibly SRS. Now there is one banned poster I don't miss one little bit.

 

SRS was great fun to read and is sadly missed, the fat, gammy eyed fool.

 

Not Stanley, and also don't want to sit here and let others think I was referring to SRS either. I actually found SRS could produce some great debates on here which led to some really good threads.

 

Yes, he sure knew how to get a reaction out of people on here being more than a little controversial regarding almost everything happening at St.Marys. I understand he could also rub other posters up the wrong way but I also never considered his posts truly personal at them and were more as a vent of frustration when his points, and quite reasonably so could be misunderstood.

 

I did once put SRS on ignore at the height of what appeared to be his one man crusade but found he was quoted so often and regularly offered such good argument that I took him back off ignore after only 2 days or so! Despite his controversy he is another poster I miss on here for the activity he could instigate, and I think should really still be here amongst other good and decent posters who have been banned.

I am afraid on this forum if you dont toe the party line or conform to the popular view then you are ostracisted. Look at the abuse i am getting at the moment on the main board for not understanding why people are on hold for 90 minutes and queuing for 3 hours for something that will still be on sale 3 weeks time and for challenging people on the reasons why we should resign Antonio. This forum is great as long as you dont speak out against or dare to question the clueless majority.

Having checked out that thread, most people on that thread essentially said "here's my opinion". Your first post in that thread was along the lines of "here's my opinion, and some of you must be idiots for thinking otherwise". With an opening contribution like that, I am not surprised that you're getting a bit of jip in that thread.

I think this forum is a sad reflection of the society we live in. A whole generation has grown up wrapped in cotton wool and they just can't take a bit of banter and they bite. I find this both pathetic abd amusing at the same time.

In order for it to be "banter" (I HATE these new age trendy words...) it has to be funny. Thatcher clips and Churchill quotes wouldn't float many boats i'd imagine!

 

This forum is lacking in genuine funny posters, and as soon as a hint of one arrives they are usually banned on the spot.

You were getting abuse for posting in a style that rather tragically apes some sort of 'ard nut, when everyone knows you are a fat, balding shirter.

Think you are way wrong there. This forum is full of some VERY funny as in :suspicious: posters.

 

It just needs some with Humour

Humour/banter is far too subjective an issue to include in guidelines which result in banning posters. In my opinion neither Deppo, Hypo or the stain deserved to be banned. If people do not like their views put them on ignore. The only loser in all this is this forum.

Because if all those were banned Steve Grant would have to run swf on about twenty quid a year.

 

By banning was nothing to do with Steve at all. St chalet was irritated that his original judgement had been overturned and so was just waiting for an excuse to flex his mod muscles. Pretty sure he orgasmed as he clicked the ban button.
