Why not just remove the thread, warn the poster and leave it at that?
When is GlasgowBandit gonna be re-instated please? He is a reformed character IMO.
Because the flaming was so severe.
Fair enough.
Glasgow Bandit? No idea, we consider all requests for unbanning.
Please consider Gary to be re-instated.

Unban Greekstein please he is an important member of Blonde imo.
Not sure why he has it in for Salfi, I like him personally, no ban on Salfi either please.

He broke the rules, he admits this. His ban is lenient in my opinion, and I consider Cos a good friend. If he decides not to come back, that's his outlook and his loss (as well as blonde's) imo. But to allow the forum to continue it's current inexorable slide into becoming a place I personally wouldn't want to be part of would be a huge loss in my opinion - and the bullying and flaming was unecessary and 'un-blonde'. Again, all in my opinion, not as a mod, but as a someone who loves this place just as a forum and community.

This is a rubbish game - I much prefer 'Where's Girgy?'

Fair enough, it's hard to judge because I have no idea what was done or said, perhaps if I did I wouldn't have made light of the situation.
Your right though, Blonde is supposed to be a friendly place and that's ideally how it should be.
Just a shame as Cos and Salfi are both members who have had a lot to offer the forum in the last year...

I don't get on with internet forums and I find mods to be 'slightly' right of centre. I also find some posters OTT and below their mental age but by far worse are readers who have no skin or a sense of humour and seem to overreact and get offended to something they read on a message board.
I've met Cos he is totally a good genuine guy (even though he may lie about his age) and as others have said he is one of the posters that makes Blonde an interesting place to visit.
Don't unban him though as I'm looking for an excuse not to visit myself

Interesting, I was called a commie and a PC-something or other last week.

There's nothing at all wrong with banter and gentle ribbing - especially between friends. That's not what happened here though.

Like I said, I consider him a good friend and a very interesting poster on here. Doesn't make him outside the rules though does it, especially when that interferes with others' 'rights' on the forum.

A ban of 3 days - oh stop the world - it's not a lifetime for goodness sake. Guess it must be a good forum if people think that 3 days away from it is so bad.

Oh and this is just a high level grim so Cos can use his new staking money for a blackjack spin up.
He told me he was going to do it in Dublin, Let's see him try to deny it…..

Well, he can't deny it - not for 3 days anyway

Oops, missed that it was only three days, it sounded like more from Cos's blog, guess I should read more carefully
Nm!
