I also think its a bit off. I get called a C*#t everyday
I had a couple of email from him asking if he could come back.
I have put it to Andy, but he has said no on the grounds that he has also had emails from Westy of a threatening nature.
Andy banned him, so its his decision as to weather he comes back, and at the minute thats a big no.

Don't get me wrong, Im no fan of Westy.
But regarding bans, theres no tranparency. Personally, Id like to see a page set up where its got
Username
Ban Date
Ban Expiry (if applicable) And this needs to be kept to, not let it continue beyond a set date.
Moderator who issued the ban
Link to the thread (to warn others against similar behaviour)
Oh, and all this needs to be accessible on the front page. As people that are banned can't read PMs or log in to the forum. (A minor point that seems to be lost on some )
Edit
I'd also like to see some kind of appeal proceedure, maybe that can be if 3 other moderators (combined) think the Ban was unjust then it can be revoked. Am I right in thinking if a moderator bans someone nobody (short of Petrucci) can unban them?

BUT by writing "he can get fucked" thats no better than him calling you names. You're making this look too personal, when you need to just remain impassive, and not rise to it.

Also send him this........
2a. Victimisation/Abuse of individuals and arguing.
This includes publishing, distributing, circulating or otherwise propagating any material, which may be deemed abusive, offensive, anti-social, racist, sexist, distressing, harmful, cause anxiety, be of a threatening nature or be it of a general nuisance. Furthermore, any messages found to insult, discredit or bring disrepute to a Moderator or Moderators will be removed and the poster banned at the moderators descretion. Victimising, citing and/or hateful posts, as well as any private retaliation against a single member or a group of members is strictly prohibited. Messages found to contain private or personal information will also be removed / censored at the sole discretion of a Moderator.
Should an argument breakout that we feel can be left on PassionFord, the topic will normally be moved to our "Dummy spitting" forum so as not to disturb the harmony of the main rooms but there may be exceptions. Be aware that when an argument breaks out in a forum it is standard procedure for us to remove all members rights to edit their own posts within that forum for up to 48hours or until such time as a webteam member has investigated the complaint. This is so that any illegal material, defamatory comments, insulting personal or racist abuse that is against PF regulations cannot be secretly deleted by the Author when they get wind of a complaint to the webteam being lodged. This rule is to protect the membership as a whole from abuse going undealt with and also the PassionFord administration from prosecution.
2b. Your language and the use of profanities.
As its important to us to keep a community atmosphere of a fun and banterous nature, we feel it would at this time be inappropriate to ban all swearing completely due to it being a generally accepted part of the everyday English language in use today. However; We do require a few simple common courtesies be employed:
Do not aim swear words at other individuals, keep them to a bare minimum and also in context.
Please do not use swear words in the title of a Topic.
The word "cunt" was removed after a members vote as ladies find this particular word very offensive. Members found to be purposefully circumventing the swear filter to enable the word to show in a post will result in a potential ban at the descrepancy of the webteam. All other swear words are allowed at the moment. We are constantly reviewing this situation and can assure you that if the swearing leniency is abused we will simply activate the swear filter already available in our server software. Keep it sensible is all we ask. Topic's with titles containing swear words will be either.
A) Moved to a more suitable room.
B) Edited.
C) Totally deleted.
Entirely at the webteams discretion.

And give him my love

lol
Im sure this is a very one sided debate.
Im sure I could get the emails off of him. which clearly state, he merely asked if you will be at the pod, therefore he could kindly ask you to lift the ban to your face.
Nothing more, nothing less.
If you class that as a threat then god help you
A lifetime ban cant be justified purely because he thinks you are a twatty C*nt as do alot of people.. you are FACT!! lol
the word gets used by loads, so that cant be the reason..
Oh, and considering NO ONE else voted you as a mod, therefore you had to vote for yourslef here have a vote
C*UNT
FPMSL...
