[Closed] Recent bannings?

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?

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

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.

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?

I imagine not, you pay for premier content on the website, which you can still access. No real premier advantages on the forum, tags aside.

agree with ton, tis now cack.

Refund policy:

No refund will be given for any user account suspended from a paid for area of the website where that suspension period is less than 28 days. For periods over 28 days a refund of monies paid will be granted on a pro-rata basis on the period of suspension that exceeds 28 days. It is the account holders responsibility to request any refunds in writing (email is ok).
Example 1:
A Premier Account user is found to have breached forum guidelines and their access to the forum is suspended for 5 weeks.

The user will not be able to claim a refund on their annual access fee as the Forum is not part of the Premier Account exclusive access package.

Example 2:

A Premier Account user is found to have been running several user accounts simultaneously and their account is suspended for 6 weeks with the result being they cannot access the exclusive ‘paid for’ areas of the website. Their annual access fee being £20. For the first 4 weeks of the suspension no refund will be given. For the 2 weeks above this 4 they can claim a refund which will be calculated as follows. £20/52 = £0.39/week Refund = £0.39 x 2(weeks) = £0.78. This refund may be requested as either a cash refund using the original payment method or as an extension to the users period of access in increments of 1 week.

Premier Users Right Of Appeal

Access to the paid for content of the website may be denied or restricted for any reason at the discretion of the moderators. Premier Account users may appeal a moderators decision where that decision results in the restricted access to the ‘paid for’ areas of the website. Such appeals should be sent to office@singletrackworld.com. The result of any such appeal will be notified to the user within 2 working days.

There is no right of appeal for non-Premier Account Users.
