The Got obituary

[roydo]

nope, never been visible.
We post in the dark thinking every one could be our last, it's why bans can seem utterly random from our end. Especially as you can't even login to read the message sent to you to tell you why you've been banned.

Just logged in for a friend, and you are correct.

Didnt know that.

We do get emails from banees, so that function still works. Sometimes we read them as well, sniff haughtily, and pour some more port.

Mod clique speak that mate, well in.

A 2-day mod-imposed cell-time with Purple Accy will change anyone for the better.


@Dithering Dougie - sorry my man, it was my fault. Mods, please take me instead as I started the silly offtopicness in Zat's thread.

why bother with points at all then? Why not just spin a wheel and ban that user for a while (if that's not what you do already)?

Good idea

*builds wheel with twenty points on it and puts Spurter on alternate points.

Being serious, if you dont post in a way that accumulate points, then the problem sort of goes away. When I say "You", I dont mean you btw, just in general.

And sometimes posters do get banned without any points. Just one random post can do it, after we have discussed it.

And, shock horror, mistakes have been made at our end at times, and said email can alert us to that. One happened the other day as it happens.

Can't do that, Dougie knew he was close to a temporary ban. I know that because I told him. If you play with fire ...
Happy to put your name on Spurter's wheel and give it a spin though

excellent, that probably constitutes a reduction in my chances of being randomly banned.

considering the things I've been banned for in the past, that would be pretty impossible.

we need a caretaker for the Tim Howard thread.

I got this, not to worry.

Guess when you live life on the edge you always run the risk of falling off!

I wouldn't put myself in that catagory any more than any other regular poster.

Pretty sure it would have been covered by these.

Or I pressed the wrong button, but that usually results in a complete vapourisation of a poster.

Nope, couple of times at least not covered by any of that but i'm not bothered about raking over anything (got recinded eventually).

Are Users told when they have been 'Warned'? (I've never been knowing warned yet if that is the case), or is it all in the secret scoring system we have no visibility of?

Pretty sure they do, on the basis that most I warn send me a PM.
