Welcome Newcomers, and introductions

That's a key thing like would be helpful to know the reason for the ban rather than just rules violation.

I still don't know what mine was for can only think for the Sima link

 

God only knows.

To be honest I'm sure a 'goody two shoes' that in over 15 years I've only had 1 wrist slap (for using a copywrite image as an avatar for half an hour) and two deleted posts - and they were last night!

I saw a thread where they said someone had been banned and I looked through the thread and could see nothing off topic, I asked what the ban was for, got no reply and this morning the two very polite posts I'd put up had been deleted.
No message.
No explanation.

Given what passed for acceptable on there over the years, it felt a bit bizarre to see a post like "has he? What was that for?" deemed unacceptable for a breach of the rules!

 

Probably getting rid of evidence as got banned purely for the reason that the mod didn't like them.

 

I coped my first ban last night for "rules violation"

Not quite sure what rules I violated though as I don't recall calling anyone names only asking people to pack in with the he says she says rubbish, for that I was banned from the takeover thread without a reason and my posts deleted, so I reported about 5 or 6 posts that were no worse than mine and the next thing is a message saying banned

 

It was your banning I asked about that lead to my innocuous posts being deleted.

Someone posted a 'hello' to you on the thread and mentioned your ban.

 

Surprised anyone noticed I had gone

 

He / must have seen the deletions?

Come to think of it the post with the smilie waving at you must have been deleted too?

That's some serious 'housekeeping' going on.

 

Yet they have left certain posts up which I had been replying to. But no there is no favouritism on there

 

The worst thing they did to me was to delete 2 of 3 consecutive posts attacking me.

I responded to them, as they were all calling me a liar and insulting me.

I responded 'in kind' which was pretty nasty only to find the Mods had removed the 2 worst posts.

The 3rd response had agreed with the deleted 2 but looked mild in isolation.

It made it look like I'd kicked off, without good reason, which lead to a flood of people condemning me.

I fired back and was banned

 

We have rules:

Rule number 1 - what me and @Gordon Armstrong say goes
Rule number 2: If you disagree with rule number 1, see rule number 1



We are fans first and mods second - only get involved if we have to

 

That's seems crystal clear mate.

 

Rule number 3 - If Gordon is having to do all the work he'll complain that Marcus is a lazy twat

 

It looks like something my missus would say to me!!! (Obviously talking about her not Gordon!!)

 

And I will agree!!!

 

Is it just you two that moderate the forum or are there overall moderators as well that oversee every board?

 

Yeah we are the mods for the SAFC board and there are a few supers who we go to when someone has been a naughty boy/girl. We can request bans and view and action reports (something I've been lax with recently sorry @Gordon Armstrong ) but the work to ban people etc. is done by a higher power.

 

Thanks for the reply, I was just being nosey

 

Oh you don't have to justify yourself to anyone mate.

I'm pretty broadminded...

 

There's another mod. mind . . . . 'Bizarreknives' who pops in ocassionally (and handled a couple of reports only this morning, as it happens)

That's the team . . . . Marcus, Bizzy and me, and we take bribes so don't be shy

 

Are you the same Gordon Armstrong imposter who used to post ower the road?
