TTony · September 2018

User bloodeagle has left the forum.

He has way too much money to want to mix with the commonfolk.

Bit of an odd one this ...

Sometime around the end of last year (ie Christmas-ish time), @mgaw was coolered. I completely hold my hands up and admit that I forgot to then let him out of the cooler.

He didn't hassle me - for which I'm grateful - but then just set up a second ID (interstellar) which we all know is a complete no-no here.

The Interstellar ID was only recently brought to my attention.

On the one hand, multiple IDs here are a no-no.
On the other hand, I see it as my fault that the second ID was created.

With the wisdom of @digitalscream thrown in, we've taken mgaw out of the cooler (deeply frozen by now) and wrapped him in one of those special foil recovery blankets. Interstellar will remain banned.

There's no way that we can combine the posts of the two IDs.

And that's a solution that Mr mgaw has confirmed he's happy with.

Deleted a classifieds feedback thread at the request of the starter, since it was just a miscommunication.

It's good to talk.

TTony · September 2018

peachguitars have left the forum.

Unfortunately, the fuckwit/s who precipitated John's decision to leave haven't left.

TTony · October 2018

We don't generally allow userID changes, and that policy hasn't changed.

However, peter1 has become PeterOne.

Not least so that peteri didn't have to become PeterEye.

(ie the change was approved on the grounds of avoiding confusion between peter1 and peteri).

digitalscream · October 2018

Exiled a thread I can't specify, because of a request from someone I can't name in that it's a surprise for somebody I don't know.

I love my job.

TTony · October 2018

brooom has become xbrooom (his request after some trouble understanding Classifieds etiquette).

Fill in your own punchline ...

brooom swept away
this Triggers not coming back with a new handle
vrooom vrooom brooom
etc

digitalscream · October 2018

Deleted a bunch of speculative posts in the super-injunction thread in BCD, and posted a warning to everyone who's thinking about the same.

digitalscream · October 2018

Two threads disappeared over the super-injunction issue that's going on at the moment. For an explanation, see here:

TTony · October 2018

TheBigH banned for being the same person as other persons, also banned (Spenietele, et al).

Roland · October 2018

-NFM- and StratocasterDisaster have left for the same reason

digitalscream · November 2018

Teresa banned because I don't want women here.

Oh wait, no. It's because she was also richardsguitars and richard.

digitalscream · December 2018

Poopot is on a break for a week, having broken a few rules (specifically the "no personal attacks", "don't take a personal beef public" and "don't let disagreements spill out into other threads" ones).

Clean slate when he's back, and let's all move on.

Apologies for the lack of humour, I'm sleep-deprived. I'll try to do better next time.

digitalscream · December 2018

Poopot's out of the cooler, and BloodEagle's back after a display of penitence and a review by the modmins.

Let's all play nice

Roland · December 2018

PeckhamGuitars has joined the forum with a flurry of For Sale threads. These have been removed until he has had time to read the rules and understand how traders can sensibly contribute to the forum.

Bridgehouse · January 2019

Fortheloveofguitar is in the cooler for a week
and Fendergibson is in the cooler for a week and is on a final warning.

Since becoming a modmin I’ve come to realise the modmin team are a laid back bunch. I’ve been struggling to understand what it is someone needs to do to incur their wrath. Apparently:

1. Having a personal spat and trading insults in a sensitive thread that resulted from a closed thread despite warnings
2. After said warnings continued to trade insults and derail the thread resulting in a closure to weed out the comments before reopening
3. After reopening the thread continuing to post off topic and snide comments relating to aforementioned spat
4. Trying to continue said spat via PM - but attempting to use a modmin as your intermediary

Is enough to get their goat up and incur their wrath.

Also, it would seem that taking your spat from one thread and posting in the other members For Sale thread about it - and making some pretty ropey insinuations including advising people to not buy from them is enough to get you a final warning. Which is fair enough.

Take heed everyone - I am now in the know and have exercised my Cooler Keys.

Jalapeno · January 2019

The Eggman/Walrus banned for duplicate IP Addresses/Sock Puppet behaviour

digitalscream · January 2019

TheBlueWolf's account disabled at his request.

Bridgehouse · January 2019

Fortheloveofguitar and Fendergibson are out of the cooler.

Whilst I was in there I replaced the stock of baseballs as the old ones were looking a bit worn out.

digitalscream · February 2019

Dogstar banned for legal threats against the forum in his very first post on here.

He might have two masters degrees, but he certainly can't read rules.

digitalscream · February 2019

Did some housekeeping on some threads regarding Richards Guitars. Where the thread was predominantly getting personal, it's been exiled.

There will probably be more of an explanation on this tomorrow. Not tonight, though, because my eyes are bleeding...

Bridgehouse · February 2019

@p90fool is in the cooler for a week.

He has received warnings in the past for unnecessary comments and actions against another member, and this time he chose to LOL comments made by this member regarding the death of his father.

No amusing quips this time folks - it's a distasteful way of expressing your dislike for another member and there's no humour in it at all.

@p90fool is back out the cooler now.

digitalscream · March 2019

Ariel Posen thread has been disappeared. We understand that it was intended to be amusing, but there was too much in there which went over the line into "insulting" for it to be practical to edit them out and have a relaxing Sunday, so...buh-bye now.

digitalscream · March 2019

Timmysoft is taking a break at his own request - apparently he thinks it's possible to achieve things in the time we otherwise spend on here.

I'm skeptical, but a failed experiment is still a result.

Roland · March 2019

slate has chosen to leave us. He also attempted to delete his Classified content.

Welcome to Hotel California.

Bridgehouse · March 2019

@slate has been banned.

It's not a warning/cooler/ban type ban, but a ban type ban.

He made a request to have his account deleted in the early hours of the morning, and because the Modmin team weren't on 24/7 emergency account-deletion watch he then proceeded to remove pretty much every bit of content from every classifieds post he's ever made.

It took us quite a while to find a powerful enough torch to go that deep into the change log to dig out every single change - and there's some pretty scary changes down there (when you lot change your mind, you really change your mind!)

We have investigated the possibility of an early-warning-24/7-get us out of bed type device for such requests, but it seems vanilla only supports an early 90's BT pager...

Bridgehouse · March 2019

^ You don't often get two Modmins posting about the same action - but it just goes to show how much time it took up and how flippin' annoying mass-content deletion is! Please please please don't delete content in the classifieds.

Bridgehouse · March 2019

@Phil_aka_Pip is in the cooler for a week.

A number of comments were made in a recent thread which breeched rule 2 of the forum rules, resulting in warnings issued to a number of members, @Phil_aka_Pip included.

As this was the second warning for rule 2 breeches, this has been upgraded to a spell in the cooler.

Good job I swapped out the baseballs recently and had a sweep up..

Bridgehouse · March 2019

@LesbianWithAGun was on a self-requested break.

He’d now like to come back and so he’s now no longer on a break.

Nice to have you back!

Howdy, Stranger!
