Bridgehouse · October 2019

jacksparrow is in the cooler for a week.

After a reasonably poor attempt to disguise a very obviously racist comment, he took to threatening fisticuffs with another member after being challenged on his abuse of rule 2.

Now we don’t like threats of violence or racism, so he’s going to spend a bit of time in the cooler to consider his actions.

For what it’s worth, he’s shown an escalating tendency to post in an aggressive manner which has at times been borderline unacceptable under our rules. On this occasion, he has overstepped the mark.

As his namesake said:
“If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.”

Yes, it was.

JJW has decided to leave us. Before anyone asks, I think it was due to members rarely buying from someone they don’t know from elsewhere in the forum.

Fender and price maintenance thread sunk as it was set on repeat ....

Bridgehouse · October 2019

Jacksparrow was due to be let out of the cooler. But he isn’t.

Instead he’s been banned. As has the sock puppet he created “joebloggs” just to PM me to tell me that the coolering was unfair and basically I am Stalin. I assume that was a reference to cooler sounding like gulag..

Anyway, it appears his main gripe was that others in PE should have been banned rather than him and the original coolering was politically motivated.

Bizarrely, he complained that he didn’t get a warning first - something that apparently the other forums he’s been banned from gave him first before being banned. Which says everything really.

Users mondaypeanut and rttcodes banned for being Adam Ross (you'll have to go back a few pages for the full story, but the short version is "Tony playing whack-a-mole").

Thickplank and his alter ego banned

Roland · November 2019

The “Sexually objectify a Politician” thread has been removed. To quote a few people: “It's not helpful, there's no valuable content in it, and frankly it's pretty idiotic” and “It’s only going to go downhill”. So to avoid wasting any more moderators’ time it’s gone.

schrodinger1612 banned for being frank1985, who'd previously been caught being jeebles.

When you're sneakily breaking the rules, probably best not to post stuff suggesting abusing dogs when at least half the modmins team are dog people.

Sassafras’ comments about depression, and others’ responses, have been split out from the Snake Oil FX thread, and placed in BCD. It’s not big or clever to make fun of illness. It’s disruptive to have these diversions in the middle of an otherwise serious thread. Often we leave them, and they blow over. On this occasion it’s been tidied up.

Was tempted to respond to @Funkfingers' test of moderation even-handedness by testing his resilience to low-temperature accommodation.

In the end, I just deleted the thread. We are, after all, quite fair.

Jalapeno · November 2019

Closed Aged Parents thread as it was starting to get ugly.

Spat between @Gassage and @Grocer_Jack removed from the Harrison’s thread. Anyone who revels in such things can find it in BCD. The rest of us can carry on with their lives.

digitalscream · December 2019

@Grocer_Jack is in the cooler, for not being able to resist the temptation to try having the last word.

Yay for having the biggest stick in the yard.

Roland · December 2019

@Grocer_Jack ’s last word is now available here https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/169277/grocer-jack-s-spat-with-gassage-and-the-moderation-team.

And, just to prove that I've got the biggest stick, Grocer_Jack and Jean987 are now permanently banned for being the same person.

He really did think he could have the last word.

I definitely think I could pull off that look.

MadOne banned for being KempGuitars in a poorly-fitting disguise.

Roland · December 2019

The Vote Diane Abbott thread has been removed. Firstly, it’s political advertising on Election Day. More importantly, forum members aren’t allowed to use such language about each other, so they certainly can’t use it about members of the public.

Jalapeno · December 2019

User Manc_ge_tar banned for being someone else

Roland · December 2019

These people banned for being each other:

Lardy's out of the cooler after an extended break.

Removed fox/dog thread - there may have been a valid point to it, but the end result is going to be rage from dog folk and inappropriate jokes from others, and then we'll all go round again.

digitalscream · December 2019

Comments removed from R8 thread.

Roland · January 2020

Fendermadlewis has decided to leave us. I’ve restored some of the content that he pulled before leaving

Howdy, Stranger!
