A fair warning was issued (again) in the thread that landed Chris78 in the cooler. Most decided to PM an apology - that’s appreciated.
Freebird chose it as an excuse to reiterate his point. When then warned again, he chose to blame everyone else.
No, I don't know what one of those is, either.
Here's a serious tip: if you want to flag something for our attention, don't say "Do <something>, otherwise I'm calling the police" and then refuse to even acknowledge the threat and accuse me of racism. He was given three chances to acknowledge it, and every time chose instead to "explain" to me that if I banned him it would be because of my support for racism.
That sort of behaviour is not going to make me receptive to your argument. It's just going to mark you as a threat to the forum's existence, and our policy is to remove those threats as per rule #9.
Instant red.
Phil_b has been banned. It's a perma-ban as well. The reason for that is the same reason his new alter-ego Philb1 has been banned. Very clear in the rules - only one account. Any attempt to have two accounts is a permanent ban.
The cooler is just that, a chance to cool off and have a think about a particular posting behaviour. After time served, you're let back in. If you can't have the patience or respect for our rules to sit it out and do the time and insist on trying to get back in by the back door, then you'll be permanently banned.
If you think a comment is out of order then please Flag it. Don’t wade in to admonish the author because it can lead to thread derailment. If the author happens to be a troll then please don’t reward it with your attention.
This year we have been trialling a new approach: the removal of access to Off Topic areas. @andy_k has the distinction of being the first publicly announced recipient of this feature.
A while ago he had his access to Off Topic restricted due to a number of incidents of rules breaking. It appears he didn't like the outcome of this, and decided that a second account was a reasonable course of action to get over the restriction.
The rules are, of course, absolutely clear - there are no circumstances where a second account is allowed or justified, and anyone attempting to use more than one account will be banned.
Oddly, he said that he didn't realise that having multiple accounts was against the rules...

As a result of that thread, a selection of warnings were issued in line with the new process as described for rule 2.
Another reminder to everyone - read the link in the comment above that Lee posted and familiarise yourself with it. We are quite serious about this, and we will put a stop to the nastiness that's become more prevalent recently.
