not many bans of late is this because...............members have learned from past mistakes
...............a more relaxed approach to moderation
................mods are keeping their heads down?

Well there certainly seems to be a lot less misbehaving, which is good!

Actually we do know how to use it, a number of spammers have learned that.

You and ebandit should be [and are] like protons and neutrons, cohabiting the same nuclei harmoniously, within the possible limits, ignoring each other and finding different paths if necessary, yet stubbornly choose the other way around, the hard way - you engage, you collide, and when that happens, the inevitable happens: the brief fusion that is each change of words between you two gives place to the big picture that is the reaction. Photons, your fulminating rage, take everything and everyone by assault, and sudently [over time!] the surroundings, your head, the forum, all of it is turned into a huge chaotic pile of ****.

I'm just wondering why maxmartin's sockpuppet is still allowed to post.

It appears this skill needs to be deployed again.

Interesting - seems to coincide with a very long ban for a certain member.

 

[Hugh Januss]

Vickers was banned longer ago than that, wasn't he?

 

[ebandit]

Fair enough - that was a cheap shot by me.

On a serious point - there have been very few bans since Hog went off for his sabbatical. Not saying he is involved, to blame, or whatever, but there seems to be a correlation, statistically, in the last 6 weeks. Thats all I meant.

someone is making up stories but it wasn't me.

 

[snccdcno]

...I believe my account (snccdcno) was mistakenly permanently banned a couple of weeks ago...

it looks good to goTom, doesnt appear to be banned

Thanks for responding.

When I just tried to log in I got this message

Well whatever it was appears to have been cleared up so thanks to whoever sorted it out, all of my posts (10-15) appeared to have disappeared though but that's hardly a loss to anybody, I'll make sure not to reply to any more threads started by spammers in future though!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Welcome back brother

 

[The Hitch]

I know and understand that moderators generally prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to calling out and sanctioning sockpuppets.

But when a new account, declares in their very first post on the forum that they are there to attack "clinic bots", you can be pretty certain this isn't some new internet user who has just happened to stumble accross the forum earlier in the day

Team Sky rules and it seems to hurt the 24/7 clinic bots, which makes the success of Team Sky even more enjoyable. Greetings from Finland mates

hitch................ would it come to a surprise! to your good self.............that new members also possess the skill to read,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
