Dave is still serving his 2 week ban AFAIAA.
Trending Topics
The only person (other than spammers) who I have ever had to ban is Phil, and I texted him followed by a 15 minute phone call as to why he was banned (but he STILL thinks it is everyone elses fault - and now considers me to be a power crazy "hater" who he no longer considers his friend
).
).
So lets get this straight Pon got banned for calling Andy a loser? Surely anybody driving a Mk6 escort SHOULD have a sense of humour!
So when we call Rainbird a big flower wearing poofda, is it not the same thing.............

Franco,
There are clear guidelines of what constitutes a bannable offence and now there are clear periods of banning time as well, so I fail to see how any mod can be considered being a "nazi" purely for enforcing the rules
.
Perhaps you should re-read the post and the highlighted items (especially the red ones
) and have a think, as I can visualise at least three mods hovering over YOUR name for a ban

, everyone takes the piss out of me in good humour (apart from Phil recently, I can't remember a time when it has been a serious attack on my character
), but PON's comments towards Andy come across as vindictive (like Phil with Chip), hence the ban.
I remember not so long ago posting a thread titled 'other forums' where i was full of praise at how freindly and relaxed it is on passionford, whereas other forums werent so freindly and over moderated. it wasnt so long ago. Dont know if i could do such a post again

And don't ban me Mike!!!! although it would be very funny
And don't ban me Mike!!!! although it would be very funny

Same happened to me...........even though no one could tell me who banned me & for what!
It seems like they're all too quick to hit the ban button these days! Apart from Pete & Mike who are USUALLY spot on!
Well with me anyway!

.Also, Davey, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO obvious that you have the same problem with Chip as Phil does and are always taking every opportunity to stick the boot in and make your displeasure at him known
. Might I suggest you just ignore him as well
- would make a much better atmosphere, especially as you talk of it being corrupted by unfriendly posts
.
I understand the neccesity to have to ban people from time to time, its gonna happen. I also understand that you cant really be seen to not 'support' the moderating team, that would be just silly. I dont think anyone expects for the mods to be banned themselves, that isnt gonna happen. But lets be honest, SOME of the moderating is a bit over zealous, you have to admit that, wether it be on here or not. Maybe a word in a few ears is called for behined the scenes? that way non of the mods lose any face to in front of the users, and some of the users are saved from bans!

Never mentioned anything about being able to abuse people because i pay..........Not what i read / wrote anyway.
All i'm saying is an PM Would be an idea, as when i got banned (for what we still do not know!) i had to email Pet.

Stu @ M DevelopmentsHowever, froggie is looking into this so it tells you who banned you when you try and log in, that way you can mail them and find out why.

.There are LOTS of people whose attitude I dislike on this forum, but I just ignore them and avoid posting on their threads, as in my opinion that is a more adult thing to do, as well as keeping the atmosphere more pleasant
.
I was commenting on some of the moderating though Mike, not on my aversion to Chip. So you are gonna pull me on this one occasion that i commented about Chip when i could see he was fishing for a bite? why not pull him up? i have to agree with Phil on occasions that chip gets away with murder, but that is another discussion, not the one im talking about here. so lets get back on topic eh, some harcore moderating
