He was, it was adding pages to the thread with no benefit. One of the positives of this thread compared to the SMB is that it's easier and quicker to catch up on. There's a bit of off topic stuff (and canny pictures) which is all good, but he was at risk of making it tedious for everyone. Think it's just a thread ban, so he can still post about other things if he wants to, but he's made his point about the takeover so at least now those who think there might be something to discuss can do it without seeing him repeat the same thing time after time
hmmm, NQD...i did give a few 'outs' for him if he wanted to use them and tried to be impartial but there were signs that he was anything but a 'new first time poster', i say it time and time again, the written/typed word has no emotion in it at all and many things can be taken the wrong way entirely, however innocent but there is also a way to post without sounding as if your whole reason for posting is to start and continue an argument. a decent mod will allow a little time to see if things look like escalating then he/she will act and in the interests of the board the old adage of 'last in first out' will usually come into play as on most boards of this type a 'noob' will generally make a few posts and get to know posters rather than jumping straight in causing unrest...i agree that NQD has been given a rest rather than a complete ban, gives him/her time to think and regulrs a chance to cool down then hopefully everyone can start from scratch again.
If he's lying and being disruptive, I disagree, I think that is a banning offence. And he's not banned as such, got a holiday from this thread for a week is all. And advance apologies if I'm wrong, but hope your not referring to me with that last bit. I'm not that snide and I've seen how this pplace gets modded with mittens copping his ban marra. Knew it would only be a matter of time before NQD got the same with the way he was going on. See, I'm disagreeing with what you're saying and no drama, no insults, no repitition, and making an attempt to address the points you raise. All good. Not as good as these like.... please log in to view this image
I posted on the Beeb 606 briefly and then joined up on here later. Fair enough. I don't agree with you on much of that but everyone's got their own opinion.
TBF marra, I'm disagreeing with a few folk on this thread and it isn't nasty, just folk putting over their respective views in a respectful manner to each other. As for getting banned for speaking your point of view, not going to happen imo. Only 2 posters I've seen get banned since I signed back up are kittens and NQD, both deservedly so imo.
It just seems strange to me that all the long term posters on here have comfortably put up with a Mariana Trench depth of crap from rival fans for roughly ten years and now we're banning people (Sunderland fans) who have been making some mildly annoying posts when the ignore function is right there. Yes it makes life easier when nobody disagrees with or annoys you but that's what I want for my four year old not what I expect for my 37 year old self. Btw no I didn't mean you mate.
Yes I've got no problem with people getting banned if they are abusive mate. Tbf although kittens was repetitive, he was knowledgeable on the financials at the club. I don't think he got abusive but IF he did, a ban was justified.
Who were the 'imposing posters' calling for him to be banned like? I know I mentioned that he was heading that way but I was basing that on how he was going on, as kittens had done similar and copped it. And how do you be an imposing poster? Do you lean closer to the screen while you're typing?.
I like(d) Kittens although I tended not to read more than a few lines of his posts. He did seem a bit uppity, but not alone there.
Have a look back and you will see people implying or encouraging a ban. Minutes later he was banned. Quinn's dad was offering a difference of opinion and then got jumped on by dozens of posters. He's banned now, there's no point carrying on the debate about it because it won't change anything and will disrupt the thread.
If you got banned from here for making slightly annoying posts I'd have had me bags packed for me a long time ago. And speaking for myself it isn't about using the ignore function, it's about a what kind of culture a board has and what balance you want. Personally, the only 2 posters that I've found to be complete wind ups were mittens and NQD so the culture on here fits my mentality perfectly, couldn't be happier. If I want something a bit more wild west I've always got the option of PF. If I want CCP style levels I'll become a scouser and sign up to RAWK. Edit; cheers for the last bit.
Went for a few drinks. Come back home. Thought I’d have a gander just to confirm we are now billionaires. **** all has happened and there’s about 3 pics of Hispanic birds. You let me down cats. For every day without a confirmed takeover we need 34 Hispanic bird pics.
Well, he's on holiday from this thread for a while. I for one hope when he comes back he'll have to admit he was completely wrong about what he said and we have new owners. And you're quite right about the thread being disrupted, let's all get back on track. please log in to view this image
