[Closed] absent regulars?

Onion. I think he was bad.

They're all digging their Audis out of the snow in Surrey

Maybe they are out riding their bikes...

You're the only one left standing from that thread
They've left you out as an example to others

I thought bikes were just a thing we used to get advice as to what work needs doing to our gardens?

naughty boys using naughty words

i expect ^^^^someone^^^^ 😉 reported them

I was wondering the same ton.

That thread and the subsequent one had me puzzled last night. (As an aside, it might be a good idea to have better guidance on the topic concerned?)

They all knew what was coming there way. So did you.

Hora's locked in the boot of my car

It was a thread about inconsistent moderation

[i]It was a thread about inconsistent moderation [/i]

is ton's continuing presence on stw worth mentioning in this context 😉

As boring as it is typical. What is they say about the truth hurting...

I posted about inconsistent moderation in that thread and I'm still here... Talk about inconsistent moderation! 😆

Fortunately, ton is not the only "one" still here today, but there was a brief period earlier with quite a lot of "last post 13 hours ago" which made you wonder if ....

[i] what did i do wrong....[/i]

no idea.

I was just going by your reputation 🙂

Heh, just heard from Druidh... This is teh most ferrous post evar.

Thanks - that passed me by too. Is druidh still here?

Druidh is not here.

is CFH absent too?

he's probably lurking on twitter again

is CFH absent too?

I would have thought CFH, Stoner and Jamie are all on lieu days

🙁

Could there not be a 'sin bin' page/panel where we can just go to look to see who's on a ban or not?

It would appear that the tall clever one and the nippy wee oirish one (not that he's not clever either) appear to be also on the noity step 🙄

I could have sworn I saw flashy this morning but post history says otherwise.

It does feel quiet on here today - a little scrapping on the GBW thread apart!!!

I mentioned this ...

http://www.mtbe.co.uk/

and a thread vanished.... Magic 🙂

where's junkyard? has he been sin binned too?

No JY is still here - we have been chatting!

Crikey, redthunder, that site has bike stuff on it - is it new?

thank god

still i'm sure all the bannings have made the site better.

is there another forum where these folks go when banned

i do actually miss some of the arguments/debates ,as entertainment they kept me occupied and laughing to myself

twitter you say ??

I'm impressed that folk notice how quickly others go missing.

It took me about 2 months to notice GW had gone, and he was my arch nemesis (not really, but y'know).

I didn't know Don Simon, TSY and iDave had gone until I read it on one of 'these' threads.

I'd quite like a 'sin bin' page - although it would blatantly turn into a challenge.

@teamhurtmore

I was shocked as well with the gratuitous bike content.

Like talking about Pinkfish on the NAIM forum... 🙄

that mtbe could do with some more sub-forums.

They all got a bit sweary last night.. and quite rightly it got binned. It was there just to wind up each other and the Mhods.

It was one of those threads where you walk in, take a peek around the dark recesses and silhouettes on dingy sofas, turn on your heals and head right back out into sunlight.

You're the only one left standing from that thread

Still here [ as mentioned above and thanks] but bannings a plenty I imagine from that thread

FWIW I would not be here without moderation but it is often inconsistent

I suspect this is more down to different individuals modding than it is down to them wilfully doing anything

I also think , as he is the only one not anonymous, that drac deserves respect for at least being open on here though it probably leads to him getting more grief.

The other mods must be regular posters i assume

It was very amusing but was only ever going one way really 🙂 , more please

Fair point that like. Mods resurrect the thread for 5 mins just so i can see it. Go on....

anyone shed some light?

the bigger they hit, the harder they fall......

It was kinda like watching the bad lads at school baiting the teachers until detentions were meted out.

As in those days too, I was happy to be a bystander and watch it turn to worms.

Good for a giggle though chaps, top effort. 😀

Shall we have a game of spot the 'new' regular? 🙂

Double points for spotting anyone who debuted their get-out-of-jail account months ago on one of their own threads about mods and bans.

Personally I've no issue with the modding or the consistency. Mods can only act on what is brought to their attention so their actions can only be as consistent as the audience of a given thread.

Do you reckon? I'd never assumed that I must say, I thought it was Chipps, Mark etc, and Drac.

Care to lead...

I had a ban, once.

After which, instead of either carrying on regardless or seeing how close I could come to the edge without feeling the force of the ban hammer...

I decided to change my behaviour on here. Its a radical idea, I know. But its worked so far.

One ban in over 6 years.

Never been banned. Clearly not controversial enough.

I had a temporary ban for posting a video of a rap song.

What did i miss?? 🙁

I agree with solo - after all i get banned if I disagree with him and remarkably quickly to with language just like his post.

I am sure this is all coincidental [ as is the TSY thing]and if i am able to continue posting my fears will be allayed 😉

Ok perhaps not learnt the sailing close to the wind thing 😀

For the record i think i have had 4 in my time on here about every 18 months or so i guess- they seem to be quite random when they occur but I accept that it will happen from time to time. I have said way worse than the things I have been banned for on here IMHO - not that this is necessarily a good thing

Suppose that is the issue the mods cannot please everyone

Could there not be a 'sin bin' page/panel where we can just go to look to see who's on a ban or not?

This plus lots

Go on Mods, y'know you want to.

This plus lots

That would glorify the banning - it would become the STW version of Asbos.

What we should really do is demolish their houses, so no one can worship at the front door of the banned big hitters.....

Surely, they are only teeny, weeny rests, not the full off to Oz in chains versions?

[i]after all i get banned if I disagree with him[/i]

Thats not how it works. [b]Everyone[/b] earns their own ban !.
People get banned for the things [b]they[/b] post, not for what another member might write.

[i]Go on Mods, y'know you want to.[/i]
I feel thats theres too much of this happening recently, members asking the moderators to revoke bans, threads by members wishing for the [i]good ole days[/i], etc, etc.

I would have thought it was obvious that the Mods really can't change a decision once it has been made, for if they did, it would become a right dogs breakfast here.

IME, some folk get their kicks in ways that aren't in the best interest of the forum. imo.

Sounds like I missed out watching a good game on handbags.

Oh, no I didn't, I was out with some mates (real physical people) and had some beer & curry. Much better!

Mod-baiting

threads by members wishing for the good ole days

I wasnt there, feel sad as I missed out 🙄

I had seen right through that thread and knew what the consequences if replying to it
But I did feel the Mods was near right to pulling the thread.
Banning nope

Is that Charlie from Casualty binners ? 🙂

Its Mr January from the 2013 "Men holding Pantone Reference Cards whilst eating Pontefract Cakes" calendar.

Better?

I reckon based on that last post that Solo is one of the regular poster mods.

Still here thanks. A bad day for the Brotherhood of Hitting Big though.

Do you have a commercial interest to declare in the pantone and pontefract cake calendar business Binners?
