1334936 2013-04-03 04:53:00 T'was moi! Defender of the members or whatever :rolleyes:. Just to clarify, he wasn't warned or asked first, he knows the drill. I removed the custom profile title and immediately gave a 24 hour ban. Rinse and repeat, except it is for 3 days this time.

I can't believe how nosy some people are. :Dwe have no lives, that was the most interesting thing to happen in a while. You could always avoid people being nosy by starting a banned thread open to mods only to post the reasons why.....

1334937 2013-04-03 04:57:00 Actually this forum is pretty light on the rules. I have been permanently banned from another forum because I told a mod what I thought of him. It didn't worry me as I moved on to another better forum of the same topic. I was also warned on another forum for using the letters RTFM and told it was a family forum by a mod.

1334938 2013-04-03 05:01:00 That being the case why did you write, I quote, your capitals:

Now, you can be constructive (For a change) with your comments, and step in to line (WITH THE LAW), or you can leave, because Fairfax is not about to be put at risk because of you. Take your pick.

I stand corrected. It's not the law (yet), but Fairfax can do whatever the hell they want, so I still don't actually care :p

You could always avoid people being nosy by starting a banned thread open to mods only to post the reasons why.....Don't normally post why and usually it is kept between the member(s) involved and the PF1 admin team. Only did this time because someone probably would think he was banned because of this thread, and then get their knickers in a twist for the wrong reason. Jen (38)

That would be fun, but we don't have nearly enough bannings these days. For a while, Metla was getting 48 hours in the sin-bin every other week. It was almost a running joke between him and I that we had, if he'd not been banned in over a fortnight that he needed to go do something against the rules so we could ban him again. Aaaaah fond memories!

1334942 2013-04-03 05:31:00 Errm... pass? You tell me? I honestly don't recall the last time I had to ban a non-spammer! Metla needs to come back just so I can bring out the banhammer for a good swing :D Chilling_Silence (9)

Well thank goodness for that.

We’ve finally established that the Law you and Jen kept quoting doesn’t exist and it’s pure speculation that it ever will.

Having got over that hurdle you say you don’t care.

Dare I suggest that the Rant you had in Post #50 of the lead Sticky Thread suggests otherwise and is the seat of the problem?

By your own admission you were trying to close down links to Fairfax’s own News Items on Waitangi Settlements and Maori Grievances.

Whilst I agree that Fairfax can run their business however they see fit, I don’t believe they would condone you censoring their News Items.

I therefore challenge you to make a Rule that there can be no Posts with Links to Fairfax News Items on Maori issues. :)

1334945 2013-04-03 07:05:00 Geez BM, it was nice and peaceful around here for a while without your dribble. And to correct you from a few posts ago. The forum rule changes wasn't the only reason people had left. Look in the mirror to see the other reason. plod (107)
