When I was suspended it said why.

How do you get suspended twice since january?

He plainly can't read rules, even when they're posted in the thread he's posting in to remind people.

Plainly no matter how many members of the moderating team we had we'd never have as many eyes and ears on the forum as the general populace, so we ask that rule breaks be reported on. Not doing so and complaining that rule breaks aren't being picked up on is ridiculous. If you are reporting things and they aren't being picked up on then contact a member of the mod team - it may be that you have misconstrued a rule.

But the point I'm trying to make is that when rule breaks are reported on and nothing appears to have happened then of course it's easier to misconstrue (sic) them. I reported them in my own thread in the MM where a post was identical to what I got a weeks ban for, but as said nothing appeared to have happened.

Not entirely sure what the sic is for.

Did you follow up on the rule break you reported that wasn't dealt with?

Heh, a bit hung over at the moment, it looked wrongly spelt but I guess not.

No I didn't, I guess I hadn't been certain as to whether doing anything more than RTM'ing a post would have done anything.

It should do, but only if the members of the mod team deem that it is worthy. Obviously not everything reported is dealt with because not everything reported is against the rules. However, if elsewhere the same rule break has been dealt with and yours is not then it needs raising so we can ensure a level of consistency.

Tefal, it was I that banned you for that. You were doing my head in.

Ah ok, was really strange reading some of the posts I'd made didn't even remember writing them, and couldn't even understand what i was trying to say

That's generally the result of abusing illegal substances.

The substance was perfectly legal.

Although true it's probbably not legal for that purpose, but it was legal.

What, like normal members not being able to see posts you have deleted as well? You claimed that was the problem of others too, and not your own miss understanding.

hmmm

No I did not. Do not spout rubbish like that when it is completely untrue. After that incident, I admitted my misunderstanding and apologised.

There was a thread in the Dons Room after it and the result was that a lot of Dons had the same understanding as I did at the time due to the way the forum used to work.

Get your facts right before making such silly remarks.

lol check you.

I know you appologised, we both did for our behaviour to each other away from here. But afaik you reserved judgement on that issue, asking for me to provide evidence which I refused on principle.

If you had a big jolly up in your little meeting room how am I supposed to know that?

So my facts are right.

No they aren't. The fact remains that you were being a complete ass that night. If I remember correctly I deleted around 5 or 6 of your posts yet you continued to take the thread off topic and continued to provoke. Haven't got the wit to take the hint?

End of discussion. Take the hint now.
