Be interesting to see if that results in a ban like it has for fif, Buce, lifted etc seeing as that thread is so heavily policed. It did. Just in case you were still curious. So ill post the latest figured on what we were talking about here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49646201 Mentions construction workers too, can't remember if it was you mentioning them or @Carl the Llama, can't see it cuz they've been deleted. FeelsBadMan.
Donk Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Its absolutely ridiculous that i cant post in the politics thread having been given no indication whatsoever as to why and its whilst other people in there are deliberately only there to talk jibberish and wind other people up. Pathetic moderating whether you like to admit it or not.
Mike Oxlong Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Wow ! More bad dudes on this forum than I ever imagined
Guest Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Compared to my posts I think half of the members should be banned. Any answer to my question about when I can post in Gen chat again? Anyone?

Brainy Posted 12 September 2019 Posted 12 September 2019 I'll swap accounts with you FIF. I don't need to post in general chat

I don't need to post in general chat You are a gentleman and a scholar. I dare you to now go in Gen chat and make an innocuous comment; you don't even need to mention the inner circle perhaps start a thread discussing the ADA ban of the VW advert and see if you get banned.

Sadly I didn't see it, feel free to DM me if it was funny! Don't think I've ever complained to the mods about a post on here, do others do this a lot? I once got a vaguely threatening DM from someone but didn't pursue it with the mods because I think the person who sent it is a moron anyway and I don't take forums too seriously.

There's a post from Mark earlier in this thread of a page or 2 of people reporting comments in the Brexit thread. A fair few seem to take themselves and what others say too seriously

I've come to the conclusion some folk on here are a bit odd.

You may not have seen the explanation but you certainly saw the original comment as you quoted me. I made a joke when you tweeted about Perez after it had been posted in the transfer forum along the lines of "all media sources are foxestalk". It was completely tongue in cheek in my head, as I've seen over the years the stick you and others have received in a similar vein, when its obviously not true. I then explained it in the same thread, but then went on to a different thread of a different rumour and posed "careful, Geoff will tweet that in a bit." and then I got banned. To be perfectly honest I did at the time think you had reported it, but thinking back I probably got banned for "trolling".

You were just taking the piiss a bit, that's all. That shouldn't constitute a ban IMHO. Got better things to do with my time than report people on here. People definitely are a bit flakey these days.

A lot of my sarcastic posts are done with a big smile on my face. I've come to the conclusion some folk on here are a bit odd. In essence, to me it seems as if they take an internet forum more seriously than real life, creating this bubble in the process. Which is strange and odd, and somewhat tragic. And they also seem to have little to no understanding of what a debate is, either taking offense at almost every turn (calling for bans) or dishing out rather personal insults themselves (which at times seems to be ignored and no ban issued). A polarizing topic such as Brexit amplifies that. And in that particular case I see the biggest issue - as long as Brexit isn't solved, the polarization, division and online strangling will continue or even get worse. Shame on the UK politicians for not being able to fulfill the promise. They add insult to injury. But alas, such is life for the internet generation.
