Re: Current Moderators
I do find it amusing that you genuinely believe you were de-activated for posting a picture of a pie.
Don't you think the couple of hundred other incidents might have been taken into account too?

Re: Current Moderators
I thought you got a ban under the "146 strikes and you're out" rule, not for posting a picture of a pie?

Re: Current Moderators
Your last ban was the result of a 15-0 vote by the moderator team, I was the 15th vote so you can't blame your issues with the forum's rules on me.Groomyd wrote:EtiquetteVid wrote: Agreed, most issues have been due to your continuing failure to comply with forum Etiquette, you've been sent the link often enough, got around to reading them yet?

Re: Current Moderators
Keep On Topic
Do try and keep to the topic of the thread. If you want to raise a new issue then consider whether a new topic is more appropriate.
Personal Disputes
The forums are not to be used for personal disputes, heated debates, personal attacks or aggresive/abusive name-calling against other members, flame wars etc. You are expected to treat each other with respect in the forums and take any personal disputes to a private mode of discussion off the forums. If you should find that your discussion is becoming too heated or someone is becoming far too passionate about their argument, please take the discussion to private message or email. The forum software also provides a foes option if you wish to hide all posts from selected members (you can still click to display a foe'd post).
Personal Topics
Personal topics are threads that, whilst posted in public forum, are intended for a discussion between only a few members. These kinds of topics are frowned upon and will be locked/moved/deleted by Moderators. Public posts should be open and inviting to all members. Personal discussions among a select group of users should take place in private message - use your messaging facilities- or see the 'pm' icon next to a user's post.
Respect Other Members
Sometimes people can write something that you may find offensive. Before launching into a public condemnation though, please consider that the person may not have intended to cause offence. It is very easy to misinterpret a post on forums. There is absolutely no need to resort to insults. Respect others' views even if you disagree with them.
No Trolling
What is a troll? It's a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names. Generally they will do anything it takes to get attention. If you see a message like this, report it and please try and refrain from replying to it - it may well be edited/moved/deleted by Moderators anyway.
Power-Posting
Power-posting is when board members post 'empty' messages to the board, in order to simply increase their number of posts more quickly. Examples of power-posting are replying to a message with only 'LOL' or 'I agree', but failing to contribute anything further to the discussion. If you reply to a message, make sure you have something to say. Consistent power posting clutters up the forums, clutters up the 'new posts' function, and uses extra bandwidth and server space. While we don't mind people using bandwidth to chat usefully on the board, we do mind people using it just because they want a more impressive 'post counter'. If you're not sure if you're power-posting, take a moment and think it over before you post. If all your post contains is a 'LOL' or an emoticon, it's a power-post. If it adds something to the discussion, it isn't.
Shouting/Caps Lock/Bold - Posting Styles
Posting in capitals or large text is considered as shouting so please refrain from over-use. Likewise posting in bold or colour should be used sparingly, for example where part of your post needs stressing. Please try to keep your posting style in an easily readable format. Please do not use text speak.

Re: Current Moderators
The reason for this ban is as follows:
You recently created a thread about betting against Liverpool (I can't link it for you as it has been moved to the private moderator forums) which it is felt was a very weakly disguised attempt at trolling and baiting other posters. Your reactions within that thread were also consistent with someone who is looking for a bite from one or more other posters, and while banter is encouraged between posters, you know as well as we do that the intention of this thread was not mere "friendly banter".
I don't see any mention about posting a picture in that pm from the moderator that issued the ban.

That was a totally separate ban
However I simply posted (a thread which had been discussed at length previously) that it may be an idea to bet against Liverpool give the odds you get on away sides - it has in previous seasons. It was posted in the betting forum.
Trolling my arse!
