Joe. Posted 27 February 2007 Share Posted 27 February 2007 Admin, why is all of a sudden everybody getting banned? The forum is a better place with them not without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted 27 February 2007 Share Posted 27 February 2007 Me, you and Jamie next Joe. After all, we are under the age of 21 I think we'd better watch our backs.... There's admin on the prowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 27 February 2007 Share Posted 27 February 2007 So i now find out Sheephead is also banned. He also doesn't know. Bit difficult to let him know when he doesn't use the email he registered with anymore. Oh and SUAS email bounced back. People are getting banned because the overall quality of posts on FT have been declining lately. To be honest I'd rather not watch it decline and decline until I have no incentive to run the site anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milky Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 Are these bannings simply to make a point, or are they for misconduct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stez Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 Are these bannings simply to make a point, or are they for misconduct? presumably it's to encourage them to up the quality of their postings. the LCFC forum isn't really for bollox chat, thats for general chat or MSN i'd have thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 presumably it's to encourage them to up the quality of their postings. the LCFC forum isn't really for bollox chat, thats for general chat or MSN i'd have thought It's good to see Mr Stez taking his sensible pills again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Fan Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 I can't believe people are getting banned for posting "non quality" posts! Perhaps if they were given a warning before hand they would stop doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 There's a thin line with that. As far as I remember, there's always been a vast variety of different posts, whether on the serious or the not-so-serious side never really mattered that much. And banning used to be a Act of God, really. I can't recall such a large number affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 It's the text speak and the inability to construct sentences that gets me, along with the basic spelling errors. This applies to everyone, we've all been guilty of the odd typo but some posts are just ridiculous on a regular basis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stez Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 I can't believe people are getting banned for posting "non quality" posts! Perhaps if they were given a warning before hand they would stop doing it. it's more the persistent low quality postings, they won't have been (or shouldn't have been) banned without being warned several times before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall such a large number affected. i agree with your post, but as for the banning thing i remember muz, daniel, w e l l m a n, freund, sir jj wilcox, ect all being banned in the past. more member = more ban worthy persons i guess, so the number will go up. anyway, as i understand it, it's not for a ban life and hopefully they will come back and read the forum rules and improve their posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 I can't believe people are getting banned for posting "non quality" posts! Perhaps if they were given a warning before hand they would stop doing it. They've both been on the end of warnings and SUAS has banned at least once before as well. Staying out of it me.

Stinkenzo Posted 28 February 2007 Author Share Posted 28 February 2007 I'm rather shocked as I thought people like SUAS were respected by most on here. I'm surprised I haven't been banned also, because a lot of my posts are 5-word posts. And i've posted a lot for 1 month Ok. If you look on the sponsor Stowell thread, I start to realise why members are getting banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 It's not hard to see young people on here are being made scapegoats for all of Foxestalk's problems. Plenty of people post utter crap on here and generally it is the same offenders each time. I know we all think joeb posts a lot of crap at times but to be fair it's unintentional and only his opinion. He is made a scpaegoat too often I think. Wils, sheephead and SUAS are well respected posters on this forum and should not be banned. It's only an internet forum for god sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think then, we will get the likes of joeb complaining about the favouritism shown when he posts his opinion and the others post rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybes Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 I was banned. Wils is a key member on this forum and should be brought back. No favourtism or anything like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk_fox Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 I think banning should be in place for excessive rudeness, pornographic images, abuse etc. But for poor quality? C'mon! OK, Alex went a bit daft this afternoon, but I think just ignore the daft posts and the posters will get bored and move on. If I ever got banned for posting low quality posting, I would leave and never come back. I think people on this site are more sick of bans, topics being deleted, spamming and so forth than they are of 'low quality posts' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
