While many might disagree, Zulu I commend you on your decision in this particular case. If it had been for some abuse against another poster then a permanent ban would certainly have been warranted. Get the feeling he probably had a few too many pints before that post, which of course I did not see so I shall shut up now.
Agreed. I saw the topic in question, it was daft and innapropriate but I think the mods have got this one right. Fair play.

I'm a proponent of a non cumulative "sin bin" punishment system - some indiscretions can be punished by a ban period that is separate to, but not a replacement for, the 'serious' offence system currently in place.

More work for the mods though.

Just an idea.

I think that is quite fair (I like Bruno!).

I'd agree with the new decision if he hadn't had several warnings, at least one months ban & then a final ban in his guise as Batman .... and then when he returned using another name he had a months ban prior to this one.

Add to that the number of barely used new names which joined 6 months or so ago which have started using the site again since last weekend.

Still, the mods are the mods & put in a lot of effort, so I'll always respect even their incorrect decisions.

He'll blow it again. It's in his blood I'm afraid.

There does appear to be some correlation between some bans and new members joining/old accounts becoming reactivated apace. Maybe it's just my perception.

I missed the offending article (since I haven't dared on since the Rovers game until today). Whatever the mods decide is fine with me though I'm glad that I did miss it - following the 0-2 it would have been too much for my elderly constitution.

FWIW My sudden reappearance isn't anything to do with Bruno's absence, about which I'm only just discovering. Similarly, my disappearance didn't have owt to do with his posts. Merely being busy.

As usual, I stand by the mods' decision. They do their best at a job which may actually be impossible.

What's really irritating is that some users want to take the piss with a forum they've done nothing to help run. It's like trying to kick the breeze keeping the balance right so everyone is welcome, new and old. People misbehave, get a warning, misbehave some more and then effectively ask for a refund on something that didn't cost 'em anything in the first place.

It's a good job I don't run this forum or I would've just closed it down as it's too much of a headache trying to stop the rampant gobshites.
