I got banninated for a weekend for posting a risque photo of a lady in a provocative pose.
Not that anyone else has ever got away with the same... 🙄
Every now & again I get to take a break, last one was due to fred running to the mods after he lost an argument with me, ****ing baby he was! 🙄
Slightly OT but I've always wondered how 'scotroutes' is pronounced! 🙂

Druidh, I believe. 🙂
Curses! Beaten to it!
I have arisen so I must have been banned
I have been a good boy since my return and had not so much as a warning as I realise everything they do is just AWESOME

Winston Smith
To be fair I shudder to think what this place would be like without it and I support moderation in general if not every decision.
they seem to be,in general, pretty fair on here.
Still miss TJ and Why oh why TSY?

I don't believe you. Fred never loses an argument.
Actually it seems you already discovered that.
<waves>
I got a stern warning for trying to evade the swear filter and a ban for posting the video of the racist woman on the tube (Which had been posted already).
I think the mods are way too oversensitive and they seem to let some things go by whilst others get hammered . I've probably just set of some alarm and expect a blacked out SUV to be outside the house in the next 30 minutes.
What proportion of bannings were Fred I wonder?
I think I got a sinbin though I can't remember for the life of me what it was for. Being a mouthy **** probably. Oh and some warning shots which I can't take seriously at all, one for calling an idiot an idiot and one for starring out 2 letters of the word shit, which is more offensive than just typing shit. I was a prisoner of conscience!
Well checking the history list some of you are still telling fibs.
one for starring out 2 letters of the word shit,
For example.
Drac, can you seriously take a look to see what folk were banned for?
Of course he can - how do you think they track past moderation decisions and try to ensure continuity?
The only one that interesting me here is the chap who got a call from the editor!
I got a 3 dayer for being rude to Adam G. Worth it 🙂
Loadsa bans, many fair, none ever discussed by mods, despite their standard invitation to do so.
Bring back the real WinstonSmith (he's not banned tho).
Why oh why TSY?
Never understood this one either, I thought he was great entertainment whilst not being offensive or repetitive like some of the others that have gone.
Drac, can you seriously take a look to see what folk were banned for?
They have a spreadsheet. I've seen a bit of it....

...names blurred to protect identities.
I've had a few warnings, but also a while ago I posted of my experience of a certain organisation and a representative of said organisation contacted the mods to demand my comments were removed,
After contacting me and getting my side of the story and me standing by what I posted, they told em to jog on and let my comments stand..
So it's not always about the ban hammer and you can't say sh**....
Edit.. LOL!! ^^^
...names blurred to protect identities.
😀
Jamie, I hope that wasn't ordered alphabetically.
Jamie, I hope that wasn't ordered alphabetically.
Chronologically.
Amazing!
I got a warning for posting a picture of some malnourished children. Worst I've ever managed!
As if Jamie, there were many before me.
It's in bellend order and you know it.
WIN.
It's just a snippet, Al. It could be from page 4. Sorry, but your firmly middle of the pack here.
To cheer you up, I made you this:

I've had a similar warning email for exactly that.

No you haven't.

Yup.
Is that me at number 3? I thought i was a Bigger nob than that?!
ill see how the two gay sailors in a dinghy comment goes
Drac - ModeratorWell checking the history list some of you are still telling fibs.
What was it for then? Definitely something exactly like that, "swear filter avoidance" for something that wasn't in the swear filter.
Not banned yet, but had a stern telling off for avoiding the swear filter, for words that were not in the swear filter but should be, in a thread full of swearing. My post was nowhere near the worst but someone got all delicate and reported it.
"called drac sugar tits" Love it, does that count as calling drac sugar tits again?
If not then may I call drac sugar tits again. 😉
I had a few days banning for apparently deliberately avoiding the swear filter by typing **** , despite it being perfectly acceptable on R4 during daytime radio broadcasting and on the BBC web forum along with national broadcasting on father ted and other programs....personally i find the phrase 650b far more upsetting to my delicate nature.
Is that me at number 3?
Dunno. I just Edward Snowden'd the document.
Another one here who's not been banned (incredibly) at any point, but had received emails in the past slapping my wrists for a couple of things, most notably swear filter avoidance. Though like others on this thread already, I am expecting Drac to play his Jedi Mind Trick and tell me that I haven't been warned in the past, and that it was all a figment of my imagination!
Or could it be that the shit ****ing arse **** crappy spreadsheet isn't as comprehensive as it should be? Or should I have filtered that myself?
In my defence... I have been drinking! 😉
Wahey, 3 out of 5 words got through the filter! 🙂
Drac - ModeratorNo you haven't.
Clearly this isn't in my inbox, then.

Well it is, but it is a warning for swear avoidance on a banned word.
However, you said:
I've had a similar warning email for exactly that.
In relation to using the word 'shit', which isn't banned.
So technically, you're all ****s. 😀
"you're post has been deleted."
I am deeply shocked.
"you're post has been deleted."
My god. We're being ruled over by [b][NOPE-MODS][/b]!
That's what perplexed me, i received a similar message from a nameless [i]moderator@singletrackworld.com[/i] address to reply to if i felt the message had been sent in error, if you have a genuine complaint about something i posted then at least have the decency to stand by your moderator name so i know who to address in further correspondance.

To be fair, this has been covered. In as much as not everyone is as level headed as you, Somafunk, and some people were giving the mods dog's abuse in real life for spankings they had administered on here.
