I've explained it several times WWOCB. We've had seceral ideas- for any post he wants to write to be sent to me or AH first and we tell him whether to do it or not (that one simply never took off). I want him to be a part if this site more than most - I used to speak with AH before I was a mod as I've known of him for a while (from the club itself and forums). The problem Is that we started to spend any time we wanted on here having to tidy up threads, respond to PM's apologising for the clutter, contacting super mods asking for assistance etc. The original 7 day ban had zero affect and then Just before Christmas it simply got ridiculous. I discussed with him through PM ways in which he can endear himself to the group as a whole and really wanted to assist him. We made an agreement, but a mere 2 days later we had 4 posts created in the space of one evening, and none of any note. Regrettably, I had to ban him.
Time after time I have to say it and stick to it, this board is so much better without all that clutter. If you agree to stick to posting all your material on one thread then stick to it or face the consequences. On the general board it's fine as it's out of sight and out of mind, also it's easy to use excuses to deliberately flout rules and procedures, they call it manipulation.
SuperChrissy that's because it's deliberate and I find it strange that some people find it funny. But you took the right decision, I would've done the same but with permanence.
There's atleast half a dozen ative threads every day i log on, since the previous 24 hours, even more than six.
Correct- traffic has increased in recent weeks. Though I think our two fantastic wins have helped that.
SuperC- I never had a major problem with JA myself although I can see that he must give you and AHLL a few headaches. He has been compared to A2c but I see them as being totally different, in that JA is a genuine guy whereas A2C was not only a WUM but extremely unpleasant and probably disturbed. So whatever you decide on JA I'll support you because I can see your position.
The Forum has become so much more pleasant since his demise - i certainly know before i check the forum that i do not have to wade thru all of JA's shi-it looking for the quality - i have him on my shiitlist, but i still had to skirt around his posts. Sorry, but this Forum is a much better place without him.
RE; Ackworth I know I'm more of a reader than a poster but I do read every day and when Ackworth is around it's a lot less enjoyable and my inclination is less so. Hope however you manage him it works as I'm sure it is hard for you whatever you do! RE; the site; I'm certainly not going anywhere and doesn't look like many people here are ready to jump ship. It is nice to know why I couldn't get anything to load though.
