Just looking through my bank account

[Barry Sanchez]

and it appears Saints Web deducted £5.00 sterling from me, my happy return is now upon us all.

 

Up the Saints and what a season.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Jesus wept

[Barry Sanchez]

I know Kelv, it must be slow on here now, looking at from a distance the banter has got pretty crap and can I say for the record I got banned for trolling yet my post was correct, anyway I love you.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

And you havn't changed a jot. Love you too, havn't missed ya though.

[Barry Sanchez]

No worries Kelv, I'm sure there shall be a kangaroo court and some mob justice out soon enough for me, punters love a fall guy as I say its been weak on here for some time now.

How can you get banned? I am increasingly abusive ( only to those who deserve if of course!) on here so assumed it was pretty unmoderated now

Because I was deemed to be negative concering Cortese and the regime, it seems one was correct but I never got an apology, simply banned, unfair and unwarranted, if you dont like my posts dont read them, I am never abusive personally unless being given a bit and then its all fair game and as I said earlier mob justice and probably a mod who disliked my posts and threads as there were far worse and more aggressive posters than myself, water under the bridge.

[Halo Stickman]

Yippee, the panto season has officially started!

 

Bloody how Barry, I don’t know what I’m more amazed about – that you’re back or that you’ve got a bank account!

 

I've missed you, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority!

Thank you Halo, most have missed me, I have looked from afar and the banter seems a bit poor, is anyone still on here? Has Pap finally figured I am not Dune, the ill dressed tory.

Ads was never looking round houses in Liverpool. How could you say such a thing?

[Barry Sanchez]

Hello Pap, I hope you read this well, Dune is a strange one, a poor socially low badly dressed tory, in many respects a paradox, you still happy with that shower Labour? Hung parliament with the liberal elite running the show, dislike UKIP but we need a shakeup whoever it is, politics is stale, fixed and boring, PR all the way.

Left Labour and joined Left Unity. I was at the party conference this weekend. No chance of any power in the near future, but interesting ideas and beyond the wee bit of socialist dogma, policies I can stand up for.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Proof if ever it were needed that Steve Grant will do anything for a fiver.

[Barry Sanchez]

The extreme left will never get in, middle England would not have it, communists and cnd went out in the 80's, Ken Loach is a good man but a liberal elite if ever there was one, what should happen is the Labour Party should split and we could then have a viable electable left option, the same with the tories as well, the parties are too big and the lines are so blurred, many Labour Party mp's are more right than the tories.

How is it going sweetcheeks?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Looking forward to a bit of trolling, just don't become a complete bore again. Mix it up a bit.

Theres a recurring issue that unbans users if they have a recurring PayPal subscription. By my reckoning Barry had his fivers worth in the 96 minutes it took to re-ban him.

So did I. How many infraction points did yesterdays little strop cost you?

[Smirking_Saint]

Bye Dune

 

Still think those that were banned but not complete ****tards could be resigned to 3 posts a day in TMS

 

Seems fair

That's a bit mean. Everyone deserves a second chance

It's been erased from history. We're in the clear.

And where do you see infraction points should you have any?

That's genius, fairplay sir.

[saintbletch]

So, you complete the holiday form, get it approved by The Man, hand over control of the Red Button to Toke, and take the evening off TMS, only for Barry to turn up like some unwanted Halley's Comet on an annual, PayPal-powered elliptical orbit. And no sooner is he here, than he's gone.

 

I missed it, and now I've got to make sure I'm on duty, looking up at the skies every 17th of November from now until the end of time.

 

You have to say that whilst he was only visible to those looking up at the time, he created more stir on here than some of us semi-professional posters ever manage.

 

As someone mentioned, there's a case for restraining returning ban-ees to 3 posts a day until they've proven they can be good boys (or girls - have we ever had a female ban-ee?) again.

 

Some **** would fly, and it'd stir things up, but we wouldn't drown in excrement.

 

Plus, that **** ********* who can't park would be 'on tag' too.

 

Well, The Man has proven himself open to forum suggestions in the past, so I might just pop along to Site Suggestions and make a suggestion about the site.

[pap]

As much as I argued with the little tyke, he eventually got banned for suggesting something that happened fairly soon afterward anyway, and may have happened just as he said.

 

e.g.

 

Adam Lallana is looking for houses in Liverpool.

 

Agree with bringing banned posters back on a limited basis, perhaps with a full pathway on offer for the truly reformed

[Tokyo-Saint]

Erm bletch, you are getting in the way of people calling me a genius.

[Halo Stickman]

I acknowledge the fact that I’m in a minority on this one (especially on the trolling issue), but, personally, I never had a problem with Barry. In fact, imo, he instigated some decent threads, banter etc, didn’t take himself too seriously (well, not most of the time), and wasn’t abusive. Plus, the night when Pap met up with him and finally established, once-and-for-all, that Barry wasn’t Dune produced one of TMS’s all-time classic threads. Not to mention the fact that it turned out that Barry’s estate agent mate may well have been right about Lallana house hunting in Liverpool – an accusation that upset so many people on here at the time. Personally, I’m against banning people unless they are racist, homophobic, regularly extremely abusive, or completely obvious trolls etc – imo, Barry was none of these things.

 

Dammit, now Bletch will tell me off for getting all serious on TMS.

[saintbletch]

Erm bletch, you are getting in the way of people calling me a genius.

 

You make me sick Toke.

 

You don't come in here for months, then you blow alliterative smoke up St. Chalet's metaphorical arse, and now you're, what, some sort of word-genius all of a sudden?

 

Well all I'll say is that if you are a word-genius, then you get that from my side of the family (as well as the small penis). You get your breasts and dog 'fascination' from your mother.

[Tokyo-Saint]

To be fair Bletch after your fun with words and word association game, nobody has come in here for months.

Yep, and it's the gift that keeps giving for those that had been wronged by them, papster.

 

All you have to do is coax three innocuous posts out of the returning ban-ee and they're done. I'd like to see everyone, en mass, replying to Barry's first returning posting efforts with "Pardon?". Then once he's repeated himself twice more, he's all squeezed out of hate-gism.

 

You could toy with them; like throwing stones at a vicious dog that is on a leash that keeps him just out of reach, knowing there is nothing it can do about it.

 

The whole process would be educational for the offender and cathartic for the offended.

 

It's TSW Community Service - like having the offender that broke into your house and stole your stash of XXL transvestite clothing be forced to do your gardening once per week (wearing your favourite basque).

 

What's not to like.

Well, without overstating Barry's case, because he did wind a load of people up on here, if he'd been tried for perjury, convicted, and then found to be innocent, he'd have his conviction quashed and he would be able to re-enter society with his head held high and a slightly sore bottom.

 

There'd be little of this halfway house stuff, which is all we're asking for

[saintbletch]

You're better than that, Toke. Well you used to be.

 

You know very well that the TS"HFWW"T thread sprang out of the vacuum left when The Bear put down the acoustic and picked up the electric.

 

It was dead on here - as my first line on that thread shows:

 

As the TMS patafamilias*, and the winner of the 2013 TMS "Bronze Star" award, I feel duty bound to bring some educational content to TMS - in fact any content in TMS at the moment would be a good thing.[/Quote]

Whatever it is B, you can't blame me for not even having a semi let one coming on here for months. Plus there was fun to be had helping Lugwig out with his grammar in the lounge.

A great post Halo, I'd only go on to add "posting sensibly in TMS" to your list of valid reasons for banning posters.

[saintbletch]

Thank you for your recent correspondence Tokyo-Saint, and we'd very much like to assure you that your post is important to us.

 

Unfortunately on this occasion, the first read of your post made no sense in any of the languages or lexical parsers we employ.

 

We suspect that an auto-completing keyboard may have intervened and robbed us of the point you were trying to bring to our attention.

 

With that in mind, we will continue to analyse the text in the hope that a point becomes visible.

 

With tepid regards,

 

saintbletch.

Just what this forum needed - Tokes has created a new word game!

[KelvinsRightGlove]

My only problem with Bazza was just the sheer volume of his posting. I mean, he was a plank and a bit of a cretin. But I could accept that (it's not like he's the only one that frequents this site), if he didn't then just have to flood the entire site with his drivel. Every thread was the same, and ended up on the same topic no matter what. It became utterly tedious, the forum was noticeably better when him and Glasgow were banned. In fairness, GS seems to have calmed down a bit now - I barely even notice him.

 

So yeah, maybe restricted posting would be the way to go, he did occasionally provide some entertainment.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Alone, the word is alone! Bletch made me buy an HTC so the phone can guess what I am trying to say (wrongly) and bdog can ask if I speak English. The word was alone and the subject was bonners, fill in the gaps!

[norwaysaint]

Wow, so pretty much the day he was unbanned he was back on here posting and starting threads, almost like he's been poised and waiting for a chance to return this last year. That is one heavy duty dependency. The bloke needs to get something else in his life, it's been a ****ing year! Imagine your life revolving around message boards that much. No wonder he had so little real world knowledge.

To be fair to BazSan, I'm not sure he'd been waiting there for a year to return. I think he probably saw the transaction on his bank statement, and decided to see if his login still worked.

 

I'm more concerned about The Man being hauled up on Watchdog or Rogue Traders for taking people's money and then banning them instantly.

 

What we need is for one of these ban-ees to take this all the way to the highest court in the land (or Europe).

 

I'm sure that banning people and then keeping the remains of their fiver after fair warning, is just about defensible.

 

But it doesn't sound like particularly good practice to then tease them by taking another fiver from them, allowing them back in for 78 minutes, and then banning them again.

 

I mean, it's hilarious, but it doesn't sound right. I've seen pyramid selling schemes that are morally less bankrupt than that.

 

Free the Liverpool One!

 

Justice for the One!

[Tokyo-Saint]

Yeah I do feel a bit bad as they pretty much robbed his fiver. As a fiver is the usual deposit needed for a house in Liverpool and Barry has never actually worked a day in his life, this is big bucks! Then just as I start to feel bad, I remember it is Barry and can't resist a little smile.

[Halo Stickman]

Yeah, know what you mean Tokes, especially as it appears they’re gonna be fleecing him on an annual basis, unless, of course, Barry figures out how to cancel his paypal standing order, which, on the evidence so far, seems unlikely.
