got nothing to do with being tough ... if you want to kerb behaviour it stands to reason that the person you are banning should at the very least know why they are banned. To not tell someone why they were banned is ridiculous ... it's not that hard to quote the comment they've taken offense to.

How about you address the real issue, and stop farting around with stuff about who is 'tuff.' Fair bloody dinkum! Why can't people stay on topic especially one as important as this.

Mr Pipes, this place is in decline, and that needs to be addressed. Mr R. Neck has raised a very relevant issue, and Mr Smith has endorsed it, and I'd be pretty confident many others who are silent do as well.

Please go to the issue.

Sure it's in decline, but instead of complaining about getting banned "for no reason", why don't you (and by you, I mean everyone) think about the quality of your posts and behaviour.

Nuisance posts, petty one-upmanship and personal attacks is pretty much all there is here - the problem isn't being banned "for no reason", the problem is not enough people are getting banned or learning from it if they do.

I regard my behaviour as fine as, no doubt you do about yours, and I would not argue with that.

And right there, you have nailed the point.

1. How on Earth can it be a bannable thing to call me (or anyone) a 'Jew?'

2. How can anyone learn if they are not told (as Mr Smith has pointed out) why they were banned. I've been banned and have no idea why. In that vacuum, how on Earth can I learn what not to say here?

Oh yeah, still sticking with the "for no reason" Schlick huh?

Well, I'll make it as obvious to you as it is to me.

Redneck - you were banned because your "Jew" post was intended to belittle, and had no value.

John smith - you get banned because you're a brainless smart Alec, who doesn't know hen to cut his losses.

Aussie - you get banned because you're an annoying little busybody who vastly overestimate his own importance.

Is this anyone else wondering why they keep getting banned "for no reason?"

hilarious that you want to call me brainless smart alec ... read any of your posts lately? You don't even know why you are really arguing against this thread other than the fact that you don't get along with the people posting on it.

there is no rules against being annoying, a smart alec or valueless. Mods shouldn't be banning people because they disagree. I'm not arguing I was banned for no reason ... I just don't know what the reason was.

I don't want to get too involved in this thread. Redneck is on point and there is an issue which needs to be dealt with. Members are melting away at a pretty alarming rate. There will be a reason.

Well said.

It's the

Unflushables

who are the cause of this exodus to greener pastures where

floaters

are not tolerated. I've tried using the toilet brush to poke

Gregg

around the 'S'-bend, but somehow he
always manages to worm

his

way back into the bowl again. Someone has suggested using dynamite, and so we're all waiting for our bomb-suits to arrive from Police Headquarters.

Will keep you posted.

I get banned all the time, never get told why; it's just part and parcel of posting here.

The bit the sh1ts me more than anything is that certain other posters who usually start the fight and participate just as enthusiastically as I, are still there trolling me after I have been banned and I am unable to hit back.

So I can see why there is an exodus, there is one set of rules but two standards of application. The rules state no trolling, but never seen a day where greggy or sven hasn't trolled someone and I have never heard of him even coming close to a ban.

Bans aren't made public, so you have no idea who gets banned and who doesn't.

Just lately, I've been getting banned all the time with no explanation (one was for an entire week).

Also, there is no mention of trolling in the forum rules, so I'm not sure where you got that from. See for yourself.

However, if the rules did state "no trolling", Herbie would have been banished a very long time ago.

"troll: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument". Troll. e.g. Lord Herbert.
