JawD 31 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Was Vic not banned too? Twice in fact. It would be more sensible to just delete any offending post and put him in the sin-bin for 2 weeks. Takes about 10 seconds to do, so if he repeat offends its another 10 seconds of someone's time. Seems a better approach to me. Fan/User representation on the board though, its an interesting question some have brought up Isnt that how the admin role expanded? by getting more regular posters involved? Cant have a forum off 100% admin tbf. Another forum I used to use had a traffic light on the user. Amber after a warning and it showed on their account. Then red if they were banned. Would also be banned for a length of time depending on the reason. Thing is though, there has to be a line to cross. Its easy for those who have no come back over posts to say the admins are being too PC or whatever quip they pull out of a hat without much thought, but its not they who are ultimately responsible. For the record, I thought he was amusing at times / screeming for attention other times. But as with any member here, if they get banned, Im hardly going to spit my dummy out over it. Im happy to have a place to post that is laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't like the place I can fuck off. So can everyone else of course. That's the only true measure of a forum, Shirley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Decisions like this are certainly not taken lightly, which is why in this case the timing might seem a little strange. We've had so many Stevie posts/threads be reported over the last few years. Probably the only member to have posts reported that wasnt an obvious troll account even.

ewerk 26853 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Some forums work the same as this one in it's democratic admin and others have 'one at the top'. I think this place is better because we do discuss any major issues between us rather than one admin making a unilateral decision on those bigger issues. In fact, as admins; we police ourselves too. I've known Tom to be pulled up by his peers because of doing just that. Anyway, my lunch break is well past over and I have work to do.

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I thinks it poor timing to have a pop at someone who isn't here to defend themselves. Fwiw I'm not Stevie's biggest fan, nor he mine, but I haven't seen anything particularly offensive in the recent weeks to deserve the apparent banning. I'd wager it's less about public discussions and more to do with something that's gone on behind the scenes. Either way it's a bit highschool to jeer at him when he's not got the right of reply Agree with that. He's curbed some of his more bizarre beliefs when warned in the past and I haven't seen anything recently to suggest he's acting in the same manner. He's pretty entertaining when he wants to be too. Leazes on the other hand...his family need to put that twat in a home without the interweb ASAP. on the other hand, I could be anonymous like you. Like them or not, my comments which were roundly disagreed with in the past have been proved 100% correct, so you should not write off the comments I have made lately. Its a message board and you don't see me calling for the banning of people just because they disagree with me. I think that Stevie is one of the best posters on the board, his style of posting is down to earth and matter of fact, beats the fuck out of one or two idiots who pontificate around trying to be clever dicks. The board will be the poorer without him and its a shame it has came to this. He can't come back under a different name because it would be obvious it is him unless he changes his posting style and there is no point in doing that if you can't post in the way you like.

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nah, that would never work. Why should we have any say on who stays and who goes? Granted we can feel aggrieved at it but that's all. You're right it wouldn't and it shouldn't be that way. That is why forums have admins and moderators.

Guest alex Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Love him or hate him like he's better craic than people who've latched onto his cause in lieu of being able to post something funny or controversial or being a decent wum themselves. That doesn't apply to everyone who's stuck up for him btw. Before you start menstruating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Insider Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Good god, what a fucking drama, he's been banned, it was a collective decision but all in all the person who had the biggest influence in the outcome was Stevie himself, after warning after warning he continued to push and push, and eventually he got the reaction that I'm convinced he was looking for. I'm so happy that so many people have so little things to worry about in their lives that they can get is such a tizzy over this, seriously its time some fuckers got a grip The loling smiley pulls your post back into patronising. You're a fucking tool you mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt wrong with some ground rules, but treat people like adults - while appreciating you want posts with good content in them to stir up interest, which is what it seems the most criticised posters do.

Meenzer 14143 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thing is, there's no point in a warning system for someone like Stevie, he's a one-man walking warning in himself.
