DrCornelius on a break at his own behest (I think he's trying to avoid the classifieds...).

Bridgehouse · April 2020

In these trying times it’s important that we take the right decisions at the right time.

The threat of trolling is real, and we all need to ensure we keep our distance and stay safe.

We have, today, made the decision to put Jock68 in the Troll Bin. We will review this after three weeks.

Remember: Stay on topic, protect the forum, don’t troll

Dawsons thread exiled pending investigations ....

digitalscream · April 2020

stevie_the_spy banned for trying to sell a Bravewood with a Fender logo, claiming a lack of awareness of the rule, then persisting in trying to sell it by PM...but he replied to the PM by email instead of within the site, which meant it came to me.

There are several morals to this story, but seriously people....which part of "******* DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL *******" don't people get?

digitalscream · April 2020

Beats_Sixties banned for also being stevie_the_spy, who'd just finished telling me by email that the forum was "going steadily downhill" and "if I'm banned I'm banned, please yourself".

He's a complicated chap.

digitalscream · May 2020

GoldenEraGuitars has left the site, at his own request. A shame, and more so that some people just can't let it go.

Bridgehouse · May 2020

Necro-bump thread closed as it was clearly a spill over from a recent classifieds "discussion"

Opportune time to remind everyone that arguments, disagreements, fallings out and other such things should not spill over from one thread to another. It's bad form.

Given the current situation I know everyone is a bit tetchy etc. but my suggestion would be to calm down, and step away from the keyboard for a bit.

Roland · May 2020

Qwertymatt has left the building. When asked to cool his behaviour he offered to take the argument into the car park. The landlord does not take kindly to such behaviour.

Roland · June 2020

There are many ways to break rule 1. Here are four examples: you can troll threads, insult other members, ignore written warnings, and openly challenge the moderators. For his hard work in illustrating these examples Capo4th has been awarded a spell in the cooler.

Bridgehouse · June 2020

Stimpsonslostson is on a break at his own request.

Personally I think this is taking social distancing too far...

Bridgehouse · June 2020

Strangefan is on a break, at his own request. He will be back, but wants some time out, which is fair enough.

Bridgehouse · June 2020

Jellybelly is on a break at their own request.

I’m sensing a pattern here...

Bridgehouse · June 2020

Ok, Budgie is in a break at his own request.

Common theme? The nasty side of the forum getting more prevalent. Perhaps calm it down a bit?

Bridgehouse · June 2020

@Strangefan is back. Apparently he’s found his mojo again. It was under the sofa next to a 2p coin and a copy of Kerrang! from 1987

Roland · July 2020

@Blaendulais is enjoying a week in the cooler for breaking rules:
1. Being a dick
2. Aggressive behaviour to other members.
5. Advocating an illegal activity, especially one liable to kill or wound members of the public.

The New Scooter thread, which was the cause of all this, remains closed.

digitalscream · July 2020

...aaaaand Budgie's back in the room.

We're addictive, it seems.

digitalscream · July 2020

JustMe banned at his own request, because he apparently can't stand the idea of being on a forum where he can't crap on For Sale threads.

digitalscream · July 2020

User BillKat is now Corvus, and has also been made a tFB Trader (go and buy one of his guitars!), and maxrossell has finally passed his citizenship test to become Tex Mexico.

Roland · July 2020

Blaendulais is back.

digitalscream · July 2020

Test Posts comments removed, because they were an extension of an argument from another thread, and also a false attempt to claim behaviour that the forum doesn't exhibit.

Bridgehouse · July 2020

Charlie2020 banned. Mostly for posting a very spammy link as his opening gambit. I countered with a swift edit and a banhammer application. That put him off. Oh, and also banned for also being Bobjones who is also banned for also spamming.

It’s only half eight in the morning and it’s busy already!

Roland · July 2020

Racist comment removed from the “Entitled, arrogant people ...” thread.

Bridgehouse · July 2020

Two threads in Guitar deleted - both on the subject of Peter Green passing.

That’s 7 threads on the subject in the last hour. None of them in the Tributes section. If you post a tribute post in the main sub forums on this subject I will simply delete it with no warning.

Bridgehouse · July 2020

Seriously guys - that’s 11 threads on Peter Green in Guitar.

There is a thread in Tributes - post there please.

4 more threads deleted.

Bridgehouse · July 2020

Honestly.

It’s Saturday. I’ve had a hard week.

23 Peter Green threads later and I’ve had to post a sticky announcement in Guitar saying “The next person to post a Peter Green tribute thread is going in the cooler” because apparently the last 2 posters didn’t realise my previous sticky thread included Peter Green because it didn’t say so in the title.

It does now. You have been warned.

Bridgehouse · July 2020

Pablocrackers banned.

He posted a new Peter Green tribute in the guitar subforum after my warning.

He decided to PM me to argue the toss, suggesting it was our fault that he couldn’t see any threads on the subject. Apparently he couldn’t see anything in the search. He couldn’t see anything in any of the forums. And he couldn’t see any posts that related to posting tribute threads, or Peter Green.

I sent him links to the threads, but apparently he can see “how we run things round here” and asked for his account to be deleted. We have obliged - it will be processed in due course.

I suspect he should have gone to specsavers.

digitalscream · July 2020

ourmaninthenorth is the second casualty of this evening's festivities, albeit with a less serious condition. The offence? Deciding to insult the mods who've been cleaning up after all the folk who can't (or can't be bothered to) read.

The mods do a sterling job, one part of which is keeping the forum as well-organised as can be for me so I can concentrate on keeping the place running, and cleaning up after people who a) can't read, b) can't follow simple instructions, or c) both isn't anybody's idea of a fun Saturday night.

Directly insulting them for getting a bit frustrated at being forced to do so over and over again is a bit dumb, frankly, so his request - "I'll take a week in the cooler" - has been granted.

Bridgehouse · August 2020

Jonnysixstring has decided to leave us as he was really struggling with the concept of following the classifieds rules.

To be fair he’s not alone in that regard - there’s lots of members who struggle with them...

Howdy, Stranger!
