can someone please tell me who were the folk that were banned recently.

thanks

Someone got banned?

first rule of ban club is…………..

i am trying to contact someone but can find him on here anymore.

I have e-mailed you as I dont want to get in trouble from the mods

yours

Winston Smith

Tj, Don Simon, others I can’t remember!

ok cheers

Don Simon got banned?

Not seen GW much, dunno if he’s banned.

gw is not banned or not banned during the cull

TSY deserves a mention here as well
I assumes DS is banned but dont know for sure

Don Simon just wanted to wind folks up and play devils advocate all the time. TJ is sadly missed, as his heart was in the right place.

GW was on just a few days ago

I miss T.J

+ 1

Those who were banned could still be on here using a different name.

no, surely not 😈

I think GW had a ban recently, as did I, can’t understand what the justification is for banning TSY, he alway seemed so harmless.

TBH I can’t see why any of them were banned, banning should be for spammers or dodgy traders, the rest should be a free for all. This is all about the owners shaping their “body of work” so it suits the advertisers. If it wasn’t for you lot being so damn interesting I wouldn’t be posting here at all.

I cannot see how it’s sustainable as after a while we will all drift away for fear of posting the wrong thing, and in the end the place will die and they won’t get their free lunch any more.

We will just be left with sychophants and cronies, and it will be very dull.

Has TJ been banned? That seems crazy. Some times he was right always some times he was wrong. He just seemed to have opinions, which is surely OK?

Was it connected to that iDave thread where he was aggressively defending the fraudster?

I’m not sure that he’d agree with you on the “wrong” bit.

Well P Membership pays for this site i assume and most of STW towers income.
I shall express my opinion via subscription when it is due for renewal.

That is not why TSY was banned but you are not allowed to comment on mods decisions but as that was not it I must be fine.

Quite possibly, but so what if it is ?

The forum is part of a business, it’s run to make money.

It’s not a secret.

well others might have seen him as a fraudster but if TSY believed him so what?

sorry for starting this thread……..but i may aswell have my twopenneth.
i reckon the forum is pretty shyte nowadays……most of the characters seem to have gone and it aint much fun to be honest.

TSY is abbreviation for who?

The Southern Yeti

Becasue it isn’t a forum if that’s the case, which means it’s no longer a place where you can say what you feel, or trust thay what you are reading is the writers expression of what they feel.

I was banned for arguing with Mark via email after he sent me a warning. Which is pretty lame, either I’m getting warned or not.

the southern yeti

Seems to be a cull of the big hitters then 😕

I believe “Social Media” may have had a hand in some bans.

You haven’t seen me right?

people come and go…new characters appear. How long did TSY get?

10 years

Who really gives a shit?
Oh you guys do.

Sorry for your loss

Would be useful if there was a sticky notifying us of who and why are banned!

10 years

That all…

It has been properly shit since the cull

It has been properly shit since the cull

It’s wasn’t that great before the bannings either. Same dull threads day in day out.

It has been properly shit since the cull

its gone all bikeradar….

Well, you might not like it, but that’s the way it is.

So you have a choice. Live with it. Or move on ?

Realman, thought you caught the 10 yr ban hammer, and then returned….

(long rant deleted)

This reminds me my subscription is up for renewel, must remember to cancel.

(Garr second rant deleted 😡 )

EDIT and frankly I cant work out how realman got away with his classifieds scam and others were banned.

Well, seeing as some have mentioned the premier membership thing, what happens if a premier member catches the Ban Hammer? They’ve paid for the privilege of being here, so no ban or money refund?

Well, if you paid for gym membership then were banned for shitting in the pool, would you expect a refund?
