    Dottore in the cooler for getting abusive.

    Not by me, I might add (I was the target), I'm just updating this thread 'cos the other guys were busy.

    Jordan Guitars thread closed because...well, some people are just desperate to have the last word, and it was getting repetitive.

    Regular visitors will know that we don’t like personal details being posted for the world to see. This morning I’ve had to remove email addresses and a ‘phone number before someone gets a “These are my intimate photos” message.

    m_custom suddenly decided to start chucking abuse around (I have no idea what started it, but hey...each to their own). He then expressed a desire to have his account closed, so I granted his wish. Kinda.

    He's now in a world of his own (ie the Trolls section). It's quite amusing in there, shame the rest of you can't see it...maybe one day...

    Schofield thread closed.

    As a casual-but-pointed reminder: playing the man not the ball is expressly prohibited, as is carrying beefs over from other threads. From the Schofield thread alone there are at least four members flirting with that line, and I'd really rather not be forced into digging out the keys to the cooler.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAND the sequel to the Schofield thread has been removed, as promised, because (as predicted) some people just can't help themselves.

    There will be no further warnings given on this subject, because we (the modmins) have day jobs and lives we'd like to attend to, rather than clearing up yet more he-said-she-said and responding to demands that we moderate not according to the rules, but according to opinions (as long as they're their opinions). We've addressed this so many damn times that I can't believe there's anybody left on the forum who still doesn't get it.

    Any more of this stuff carried over from those threads, or any more attacks, and the cooler is open for business.

    Busy day for the moderation team. LastMantra is giving the forum a break, not at his own request.

    Bluecat is enjoying a spell in the cooler. Well, actually, it’s the other way around. Forum members are enjoying a break from personal attacks, and the moderators hope to enjoy the rest of their bank holiday weekend in peace.

    The  Wow. Just... WTF?!  thread has been removed from public view. I’m sure I could pick a member’s name and imply that it has sexist/racist/monarchist overtones but WTF, I’ve got better things to do.

    LastMantra and SpoonMan banned for being the same person, running both accounts at the same time.

    Time and time again folk do this...it's not difficult, people. Just read the rules.

    EDIT: We subsequently discovered that he'd started using SpoonMan to evade his time in the cooler; therefore, there will be no chance of a review after a year.

    … and is now attempting to join with other user names. I don’t know whether to admire persistence, or feel sorry for people who think their behaviour is acceptable.

    We are always helpful to people who are new to guitar, and ask seemingly innocent questions. However @invisiblewasp is also new to mandolin, classical guitar, virtual instruments etc, and on his third post in each forum has spammed them with a link to the product he’s advertising. So he’s now new to our list of banned members.
