Re: Re:

Just because I do not actively moderate does not mean I ignore the forum. You don't know that goes on behind the scenes.

So you know about the specific situation relating to me? I'm waiting for clarification on that

And ask valv.piti about it if you wanna be fair

There is no clarification.

There's nothing to say that will change the fact that you were trolling, whatever we might or might not have said to another member is not something you would have access to.

You don't agree with your ban, that's been communicated now please move on.

Gonna play it like that huh? Here i can discuss this, this is where i don't have to move on. Aslong as i don't get exact clarification with your reasoning to the specific matter, i've no reason to move on.

Btw does that mean you created a precedent that when someone makes an innocent joke which was very relevant at the current context they get a week ban?

I would like to know the ruling on it so i can adjust. I don't like arbitrary judgment.

Don't do it man. Don Quixote tried hard also and in the end???

I think that Susan makes a very valid point: if you like cycling so much that you get upset here, do like me in the laundromat today with no wifi: I looked at Berzin on stage 4 of the '94 Giro, which I had downloaded. [I recommend you do the same: BigMig, Pantani, Bugno, Chiappucci, Ugrumov put to the sword - great racing plus The Clinic].

Enjoy cycling in a way that makes you happy. What do you get out of fighting and wasting your time arguing about a ban? Is it about cycling or about you? We should be a community of more or less knowledgeable blokes and "blokettes" discussing, cool, with humor and sarcasm, always respect, agree to disagree. Enjoying others who like cycling.

I wish we could all behave as adults, and there would be no need for mods. I wish .

Bottom line: we need mods...

edit: BTW Miburo you are so obviously trolling here in this thread it isn't even funny.

My guess is that in real life most people on this forum are somewhat normal. This is a place for all to express their inner psycho self.

I came here tonight... and I didn't know what to expect.
I've seen a lot of people hating me... and I didn't know... what to feel about that, so... I guess I didn't like you much either.

During this fight... I seen a lot of changing:
the way you felt about me...
and the way I felt about you.
In here... there were two guys... killing each other.
But I guess that's better than a million.
What I'm trying to say is... if I can change... and you can change...
everybody can change!

Rocky's speech to the Russian crowd after they turned on Drago and started to root for the foreigner Balboa is classic. We should all think like Rocky.

Because that's how Rocky talks in he movie, it's from the script. You get it?

 

[Irondan]

@Mods - was my post asking about ban reasons deleted? Why?

Because any reasons for a ban are already posted in the members suspension thread.

 

[Irondan]

Please post comments wrt the topic at hand.

Cheers

With respect I don't agree. Yes in the suspension thread you state the reason (ie trolling, baiting, etc.) but I think it would be better to message the poster and point out the post / series of posts. I think it would help. And why delete my post asking it?

And why delete my reply to Hog earlier in here?

I am aware that the LeMond thread is currently closed but why has it been cut so that posts only start from 2016. Whilst taking a break from posting, I had a read back through the thread and guess what, most of what has been rehashed recently had been done so before back in July 2015 including the Dhaenans rumours, the Max Testa rumours, the Danny Van Haute links so why was the thread re-ignited when the poster who did so had been there for all those discussions in 2015.

Also how is it possible that the LeMond thread is closed but the sidebar thread has become the unofficial LeMond thread.

Yeah, currently not only the sidebar thread but also the one clean rider, American cycling culture, Hampsten, and first EPO user threads have been pretty much hijacked by the LeMond thing. Might be an idea to reopen the original thread, although I understand it had become a bit of a cesspit.

Agreed. And look who has bumped all of those threads this morning.

I can understand that it is really difficult for moderators to see the pattern of what is happening if they are not immersed in the individual threads. But, it seems like a goal of many of the posts IMO is to provoke a response, by stating opinions as facts and making provocative insinuations. The best solution is to not participate (so as not to add more fuel to the fire). My 2 cents.

Yes it is very quiet. Just think about what it will be like when SKY finally get busted. Should be interesting watching all those folks who defended them wiggle.

Sure seems to be quite a bit of crying about the USA cycling scene Moderation going on here. Odd considering how fair game Armstrong was.

I think he had his fill of a few items up for bid around here so he has taken a staycation.

That was rather onesided, i give up mods.
