blonde poker forum

i take it the suspension on nemesis is over? it may be a bit of a controversial question, but have the mods asked him back yet? Or is this not normal practice?

I really do miss his posts and fear he is not coming back after the incident that happened.  The forum actually feels different now. maybe people are just moving on and have found another forum?

Mad

Yes, it's over. We'd love him back as someone many of us came to like, and many emails were exchanged. Entirely his decision though.

Everything is water under the bridge as far as we are concerned.


If Nemesis reads this


.... ;surrender; ;tk; ;grr; ;hide; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend;

i would love him to return.


sign my petition to get him back. we need some intelligence on the forum...... ;hide;

The EU have just announced that, because of Nemesis not posting on here, the European smiley mountain is already as big as Luxembourg.

We never hear about the European 'butter mountain' or 'wine lake' any more.

thats cause brad strider ate all the butter and has consumed the last of the wine lake......

You've got some. It's out there somewhere.

As he is posting on a similar forum (but not half as good ;),I guess whatever happen was too much for him to return, at least in the short term.

ah whats the forum?

and tightend, you got that right. i have intelligence somewhere out there and thats the problem. i need it inside my brain where it can actually function, not floating around in space. :)

Can someone PM me the name of the forum Nem is now on, I'd like to go say hi.

well, I don't know the full story, but if he feels his suspension wasn't warrented (which reading between the lines seems to maybe be the case), perhaps he just doesn't want to come back.  I don't know if I would.  Agree it is a shame though, it's not the same without him around.

please come back Nem!

The hendon mob

I miss alot of the reguler posters

Nemesis did not leave for this reason. He wanted to spend more time with his family and less time online.

He assures me he'll pop in to catch up on threads and say an occasional "hi".

i read between the lines and on the lines and theres no maybe about it he deserved his ban!

but he's done his time and i agree the place isn't the same without him.

but as for mods asking for him to come back pleeeeeeeeezzzzzzeeeeeeee! rotflmfao


if nemesis returns to blonde and is how he was 99% of the time then that can only be good for blonde and the community and i like many others will say "welcome back nem"

thats good of you to say so ITB. i mean that but blonde is a community and we should be inclusive rather than exclusive so i see no problem with the mods asking members to come back after a suspension or even when no suspension has been in place.

Hang on.....

 ;popcorn; ;popcorn; ;popcorn;

Okay....

no need to get the popcorn out. i dont think this one is going to turn into a major war zone:)

ok  ::)

Straight from the horses mouth.

 ;iagree;

Baron, im not doubting you and i belive you when you say its straight from the horses mouth. I just dont think that is THE reason why he has not come back, i may be wrong but i doubt it,

i actually like/liked the guy, he was ok for a spurs fan lol. i had some decent conversations via pm with him and hope he comes back,

now this is why i joined blonde :)up. great community spirit  itb :)

I'm not sure I get your meaning here, would you care to elaborate?

What "resigning to spend more time family" is politicians code for f**k off and die!  yes we know  :D

I think it's true mate - I don't know any twenty something males that openly admit when the missus has put her foot down! :)

I believe belly meant that he thinks its a silly idea for the mods to ask nem back... He is not in so i cant ask him! lol.

Some people believe nem deserved his ban, others dont.

Its an opinion thing, asfor between the lines, this always exists in any situation, its like the 3 sides of a story rule, one side for each party and another for what is the truth.

Dont shout people down for having an opinion mate thats what blonde is about.

I did hear something funny the other day however, and that was that blonde is becoming a dictatorship, if so who is Dick?

Who cares ? Life is too short surley? Nemesis was a good poster and I hope he comes back but dredging up the ban thing again is utterly futile.

but I also need it to make sure I keep my mouth shut!

and don't call me Shirley....

ah, i get you...lol

Exactly, why do some folks just wanna jump onto a thread just to (once again) say they are right, leave it as is.
It isn't a debate as to whether it was right or wrong.

I can't really see what the point is of banning anyone for two weeks.  If someone is a proper troublemaker ban them for good. But in the case of regular and valued members who may infringe the rules somehow I'm sure a friendly word would have been quite suffcient. The whole thing does rather smack of petty officialdom excercising arbitary power just because they can.

Well f***ing said.

The forums full of trolls....needs to be stopped.

If you don't know what that means google it.

heres the means

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer

for the record i did not start this thread to illicit views around the ban. i wanted to know if nem was returning and if the mods had asked. i dont take kindly to being called a troll, although it does have a certain ring to it :)

I didnt actually call anyone a troll, just I am sure I have seen this thread appear over and over again in some form or another recently, each one turning into a pointless debate on why he was banned and how the mods run this forum.

as previously mentioned, this was not my intention

I was lied to as a child.

he's cute :)

Specsavers are still open.

This thread is folowing a familiar pattern, people making statements when they don't know the facts. We did have several friendly words with Nem, then we gave him a friendly warning. then we gave him a final warning, then we suspended his account for two weeks.

If you think we are just exercising arbitrary powers just because we can, that's your prerogative, there are plenty of unmoderated forums out there if you want to use one.

If you agree that a friendly word is the way to go, then hear this. I'm asking you all now, as a friend. Please, let it go!

nemesis is welcome back and he knows this

the mods do a voluntary job and we try our best

nemesis believes that i was behind his suspension

and that i wanted him off the forum 24/7

nothing could be further from nemesis is a good bloke with other people's good at heart

myself and him have in the past had run in private but this was not involved in his suspension

and i would welcome him back

whatever happened he was stil the No1 poster on this site.
And i wil be amazed if he comes back.

just to clarify what I meant, as I've worded it a little ambigously.  I meant that, reading between the lines, it seemed as thought nemesis felt his suspension wasn't warrented.  I'm not forming any judgement myself because I don't know the facts.

yes tank il elaborate just 4 you lol

what i mean is that i  dont think it should be expected of moderators to ask a member who has been suspended to return to blonde (or any other community for that matter)

i shall assume that when the suspension was imposed that the moderators would have told him that at the end of his suspension he was welcome to return.

i dont think anymore contact is needed and the suspended member has the choice to return to the community or not.

your right billy there are 3 sides of the story, but i was indirectly involved in the situation which led to the suspension and in my opinion he deserved his ban.

i certainly wasn't shouting anyone down for having an opinion

i think you will find i didnt start this thread.

i also think you'll find it was'n't me who said first whether nemesis's suspension was warranted or not.

i just see a post with information on which imo was wrong and commented on it.

a forum, a community a debate.

a number of friendly words were given and ignored as far as im aware.

 :goodpost:


but red we are only debating certainly no baiting or flaming on this thread not that im aware of anyway.

You have responded to six posts on the bounce on this subject, perhaps with only one being directly to you. This subject realy needs to die and it isn't going to happen like that. Yes you may know more of the facts than others but you also have a motive to side with one of the people.



This thread was simply someone seeing if one of the most frequent blonde posters was returning and has somehow turned back round to 'I think it was wrong' 'I think it was right' (not saying ITB did that)

I really don't think you'll see Nemisis posting on Blonde again, unless Spurs win something... no hope!

How long before this subject is taboo and any mention of it leads to a ban ?

Whats done is done. Doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

If you want to encourage someone to post then contact them. PM or email.

If you think blonde is no longer useable because someone doesn't post then cheerio.

Sandy

Okay, no mods on board, so I'm going to lock this thread and let it die.

It's only going to end in tears if I leave it open and I don't see the point in inviting people to bash out on old subject.

Please don't bring up the subject again as it always seems to lead to arguments, which is the last thing we want on the forum.

As Henrik says, if you wish to encourage Nemesis to return, then please contact him privately via email or pm.

cheers,

snoops
