PS: - You might want to get rid of the swastika though despite obviously being a positive symbol in Hinduism, its got a bit of a bad rep since then!

Why remove it? Its clearly not the rotated swastica used by the Nazi Party. The Hindu swastika has been around for many hundreds of years.

PC gone mad.

It might be clear to you, but I think he is right - the swastika in any form for most ppl brings to mind the Third Reich. I am more familiar with the swastika as used by the Navaho and Hopi in traditional art - and that has the same problem when the observer is not familiar with the work. Maybe in another hundred or so years, it might be less radioactive!

'Trollsky' should have been allowed some leeway simply for the name.

Indeed, but it wasn't a bad post either,

Couldn't be arsed to unplug the router and get a new ip adress just to fox the mods for a bit longer.

Anyways, toodlepip

+1 To the Trollsky name fanclub - never got to see his/her work but I'm sure it must have impressive.
What did they manage one post or something? - I just wish i'd seen it .. hillarious.
Maybe they didn't get to post at all? just banned for name!
Highly improbable i know, but indulge me, i'd like to think that maybe it was a genuine person with the surname Trollsky and that they are completely oblivious to why they've been banned.

that account managed 1 post before i spotted it, i deleted that post and told him he would get banned. while i was banning him he made a small post with 10 characters reacting to me but i deleted that as well after banning him.

also trollski was joachim and after i perma banned that account he made another one (which has already been perma banned) called "it's joachim" where he came to this thread talking about how he didn't put too much effort avoiding the mods with the trollski account.

he must be over 10 new accounts since he was perma banned. . . .

11 :D

I made a post on the Sky thread pointing out what a tw@t Brodeal was for accusing some poor new poster of being Joachim. I thought the irony was rather cool and I bet it raised a couple of giggles. I just mistimed it because I thought Parrolo would be away going through the bins looking for some dinner.

@Fearless Greg Lemond. Are you such an utter utter penis in real life? Some of the people here are amusing and up for a laugh but you are just a nasty little worm.

Oh dear:eek:
I thought the account was called Trollsky not Trollski technicality but first one is more ingenious.

Anyway sounds like you've got your work cut out! Saw the Its Joachim post..
 
last post

truth is i was banned for referring to thehog as hoggie
members read that I refused to comply with mods instruction....but that instruction was NOT to refer to thehog as hoggie
weeks ago susan spoke to myself about this issue i stated the obvious hoggie is happy for others to use hoggie........the matter was dropped
sitting b took up the complaint............'thehog does not like hoggie' again i replied to this absurdity stating that like others i would refer to thehog as hoggie if i chose
strangely despite publicly stating that she could see nothing wrong with others referring to thehog as hoggie i was banned for stating that i would do likewise
how could I be banned for ignoring mods instruction if that instruction had no merit and did not apply equally to other members?
i have protested against this farce in email to susan who ignored my pleas to be treated fairly
no wonder i wish to take no further part in the forum...............this is the 2nd time that i have found myself banned where there is no justification for doing so

I had some sympathy for you up until the highlighted.
The mods should have to intervene because posters act like 6 year olds - you were told to drop it, but you chose not to.
That was your choice.

No, you chose to ignore what a mod told you.

Susan upthread said a mod decision about nicknames had not yet decided - as I said before the fact this calls for any type of intervention is stupid and Hog should be told to shut up.
You went to PMs about it, they heard you out that's treating you fairly. You were asked to back off while they sorted it out - you ignored it.
 
yes!

yes! and if i was instructed by mods to follow instruction equally ridiculous
that did not apply to other members again i would do likewise

i expect most other members would also refuse to comply in such cirmcumstance

remember this issue should never have arisen if mods had applied common sense

Actually, I know when i am requested to back off by a mod i do so. And i would guess most other do the same.

You decided not to.
Complain all you wish about the stupidity of the hog stuff, but you ignored a mod and got what you deserved.

ebandit said:

Which you didn't wait for - and then you choose not to apply common sense in your little stand.
The mods were in a lose situation either way, it was going to be between yourself and Hog, and you lost. Silly stuff.

Was appreciating the reduced usage of dots on the forum, at least till FGL got on that bandwagon. :mad:

And the reduction of underscores came very fast, thanks to who ever fixed that.
