Is there a page somewhere that lists the bans and the offences? Or, are these assumptions?

There is no said page and there are no assumptions except in the case of Rhino. The others (except Neferti who posted a Members full details on two separate dates - she was given a 6-8 week ban after the first occasion, then repeated the same on the 20th Feb this year and has been gone since then...and rightly so) have posted, at Monk's joint, that they are banned. Smith and Mothra have been under that ban for at least nine months so far. Monk is also banned, period unknown.

Perhaps they should be let back in but with a forced name change for a year, a bit like how a kelpie has the carcass of a chicken hung around it's neck when it when it goes rogue.

We've already decided Greg's name, Turdy Mc Turdface but what about the rest of them?

Lets have a vote. These are just suggestions, feel free to come up with your own options.

John Smith. The Dapto Wog
Rhino - Whino
Mothra - Mrs Meatbags

The others need to come to their senses as well. Bring them back on probation.

But how do we know they have gone rogue vs someone just getting rid of people they disagree with.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Can you clarify that? It is confusing.

Those banned, were banned for good reason.

Good riddance.

Okay. So name the Member and say what the 'good reason' was in each case.

We can take this further. Who should (in your opinion) be banned, and for what reason?

Ask Aussie nicely I am sure he will let you know Mothra, John et al new address.

since when did Rhino get banned????>..

I agree to some extent with AiA but the vileness thats been thrown at some of us on monks site .. makes me shudder to think we should be expected to go through that again... just because you enjoy people insulting each other..... that isnt for me....

another thing that pings me off is the way American news has taken over ozpol... it would make up more than half of the posts...

who gives a monkeys about American politics.?? what the hell are we expected to do about it????...

now that is boring.. Angry

you concern yourself with those who have been banned for good..AiA

why not concern yourself with people who have left for good because of the louts on here..

who think they have some power .. its called bullying..

greg is a good example he has followed members around from pillar to post...going on and on about the same thing ...nothing at all to do with debate just plain nasty...and all because he knew it upset them... Sad

now he has had a little of his own back.... and hes run like a rabbit..... Cry

..couldnt stand the heat I guess..

but thats what this place has come down too....I have said for a while the attitude here is driving people away

I got into trouble! for my trouble... Roll Eyes

That's a point I was going to make, Cods

The post count may take a hit without Greg but how many of those posts are repetitive badgering. And how many people has he driven away? There'd be many guests who don't bother even signing up after reading his accusations of pedophilia or homosexuality.

Think of losing these people as short term pain for long term gain.

If the forum had the tools you could graph it, at an average of 40 or so posts per day and most of those would have been responded to so you can double that at least, that's a 100 posts a day hit.
