    I love the Mods just having a laugh... honestly Swords getting banned is just going to be the start of the fun. I may have to shadow him again (only joking Brick top Nuts) .. did think of another ID change so as to rewrite history ... The Norwich lads wouldn't have noticed if I had become Swords Hoppster or Swords Hoopstar for 28 days ... can you imagine the sort of apologies I would write

    I would suggest not, a laugh is one thing, my evening being ruined by childish play just pisses me off TBH, still your choice.

    Swords never used to bother me but he has become irritating and I hope this gives time to reflect. The tipping point was when he had a thread created about him and saw a huge amount of support for some of his 'banter'. At that point he became a charicature of himself having to live up to the image. Rather than a great quick witted put down or sharp response now and again abuse became the norm and lacked football contact. Just my opinion but hope to see him back a little more chilled and focus on the football side of the forum.

    I hope the board doesn't turn into some 'police state' where posters have to watch evrything the write? It would be a great shame.

    Childish play is one thing we should hold onto Sydney ... But I am not the type to do anything that causes work for others now that I know that it does indeed cause extra work for the Masonics. I doubt if 7 days in the cooler will have the desired effect for Pork, I fully expect him to come back like Gremlins 2 the afterbirth

    Personally I am a bit bored with it all to be honest...a ban does seem harsh, but Swords has been kicking up a stink for a while now. If it takes a ban to harness his focus a little, then so be it. Interesting time to introduce a ban though...assume something has happened behind the scenes?? Anywho...I am sure he will come back fighting fit after training with some other lower league board ;)

    I like the aspect of being able to have banter and discussions with other teams fans on here, but do hate all the abuse and "WUM" activity that seems to be more frequent these days than I can ever remember seeing since joining...far too often lately have we seen threads dedicated to people bitchin n whinging, or people actively seeking to piss off other teams board members...I guess at times its difficult to draw the line on what constitutes banter or WUM activity...personally I would hate to be a mod as it looks a damn tough job, so well done gents and continue to good work.

    I really don&#8217;t see that happening mate.

    At a wild guess I would think that he has been banned for stuff he wrote on the Norwich board that most of us would not have seen, and not under the jurisdiction of our mods. Outside of that I see little point in speculating but I&#8217;m sure he will be most indignant on his return.

    Roller.'Indignant' No he will be back wanting us to save 'dublin 1'.

    the sooner he realises this is to do with QPR and not him the better.

    I have had some run ins with him and he can be an absolute pillock but other time quite fun. Pity about the football knowledge.

    I take it his ban is on the total site and not just the Norwich one. if it is he must be <steam>

    If what Canary dave says is true swords deserved all he got but i dont think swords will pleed guilty.

    Swords did say his mission was to make as many enemies as possible, so it looks like he's doing a good job, but he does hate it when you don't bite at some of his posts.

    I can't understand why Medro is still allowed to post on Not606 though! He's a first class ****!

    Personally think the board is a bit worse off for not having swords on here...for all his faults he is definately one of the best posters here.

    Maybe he needs a break for a bit (it happens to us all!); but I will say in his defense, we do seem to have an excessive amount of posters from Norwich taking part in our board threads / discussions..

    Whether this is down to what SH has posted or other issues, I'm not quite sure TBH...?

    Personally, I think they can dio what ever they like, just dont understand why they want to spend so much time on a QPR site and not thier own!
    Must be real quiet over there I'd guess....?

    No doubt he'll return next week with another pathetic 'Why me?' thread preaching a revolution. The bloke is a head case, which is a shame, as he can put some very good posts out, but he can't resist wumming. Sadly too many on here massage his ego which only makes things worse. Good job I'll be away for a couple of weeks when he returns...:grin:

    Swords can be, and indeed has been, a very funny and intelligent poster on out board (Norwich). When he has overstepped the mark, I have sent him a message pointing out what I though was wrong with his posts, and he has always replied, thoughtfully, politely and well reasoned with his point of view.

    Unfortunately, there have also been far too many times when he has been a bit of a twat.
    Myself and Dave, did send a message to your mods asking them to 'have a word' with him about hus behaviour lately on our board, or we would have to consider banning him from our board for a while.

    The message we received back was along the lines of "A word won't do any good. If he oversteps the mark, then ban him, as we would any non QPR members that don't abide by our board rules."

    That isn't the total message, but that was the general gist.

    When he seemed to team with our own Whole lot of Holt, and posting on our board, then it was a case of the lunatics were taking over the asylum <yikes>. We were losing people that were getting peed off with the pair of them ruining any thread that promised to be decent debate.

    As I said at the beginning of this post, Swords can be a very good and fuuny poster. When he come back I hope he is that, and not the twat he can be.

    Good luck for the season and i hope we can have good lively debate between ourselves rather than the stupid bickering that has appeared between us.

    It's a bit of a no win situation with S. Be friendly with him and he goes hyper, have a go and he can turn nasty.

    Intelligence and rationality don't always go hand in hand.
