Where's Greekstein?

[Colchester Kev]

Just one point that Cos made that I feel I should comment on ... not one of the mods gets paid, not a single penny is paid to any of us.

ALL the mods are doing the job voluntarily.

lolz, are the others still telling you that?

No mate, I am still telling them that

i think 24 hours was enough, extending it is just petty.  Before Kin comes on and explains that the 24 hour thing isnt a ban but a time to reflect, i think that was plenty of time.  

I just hope we havent lost one of the best posters on the forum to keep one of the worst...

3 days seems a bit harsh but then again I don't know what was said.

I won't miss Cos on here at all because I speak to him often anyway. It's definitely a shame if he decides not to post any more though. Not for me but for himself.

I know he enjoys it on here and will miss posting. He took his 1 day ban in a light hearted manner but I know from speaking to him that he knew what he said was out of order. I guess when he was told he had a couple of extra days he just thought "f**k it" why bother.

To be honest I really can't see the point of a 3 day ban. Either a cooler or an indefinite ban is the way to go. If somebody is that bad they shouldn't be posting at all. If someone makes a mistake then a cooler is sufficient. To have ban lengths based on severity of the incident is ridiculous. Who is judge and jury? Do the guys get a chance to defend themselves? It's just not fair.

good post

ITB - I know you love Blonde because you fought so hard to be re-instated after your ban.

So my thinking is that if you want so badly to be on the forum you must have respected the running of the forum otherwise you wouldn't want to be on here surely and wouoldn't have come cap in hand asking to be allowed back on? If you didn't respect the forum and the running of it you wouldn't want to be here surely?

If I'm wrong and that's not the case why did you want to come back - msn and other forums like 2+2 talk about poker so you could get your fix of poker banter there.

I can't understand why you would spend so much time getting yourself back on here if you are not of the same mind set and ethos. If a 3 day ban is deemed appropriate so be it, this is the forum you wanted so badly to be part of and then you criticise it. Am I missing something in the thought process here?

Just because you love something and want to be a part of it doesn't mean you have to agree with everything it says or does though?

Of course you don't have to agree with everything but if he was so desperate to come back onto the forum I would have thought he would have appreciated the stance that the mods take, and respected that.

If he didn't why would he come back if he thought they, the mods, who are at the end of the day in charge, were crap?

who said i was desperate to come back to blonde??

has my personal email to the moderation team been leaked to a non mod??

i think matt and stuart have basically said all there needs to say on the matter tbh. i just voiced my opinion it doesnt make it right but its something im entitled to do.

i find all the mods just fine and appreciate they do a thankless task.

i wont be posting anymore regards traceys questions as it plain to see we have different views so best just leave it at that.

anyway ive learned never to argue with a woman as its an arguement you will never win

I think this is pretty poor soviet.

Salfi is far from one of the worst posters, if you take the time to read what he is trying to say then most of his posts are very good.

They werent the only ones, Cambo was banned last week and was told the length of his ban would be pending review after the weekend (Banned Saturday I think).  Two weeks later still banned, hasnt been contacted since to tell him how long his ban is for, the supposed "review" probably hasnt taken place and in all honesty his crime was similar and no worse to Greek and Rookie.  Whats going on here?  Is he lost in the system or what?

[sovietsong]

Fair enough stu, I'm not going to go into it as he is not here to defend himself. I find some of his posts frustrating. Maybe to say he is one of the worst posters is harsh.

I think this issue as mentioned by others has been done to death now.

Prob time to move on.

I enjoy the banter on blonde and think its a shame that it goes to far at times and people get banned. I personally am not offended by anything on here but when I read 2+2 I am thankful this forum is not like that.

The 24-hour cooler isn't a ban, but a time for the...<snip>

I was out last night, so missed Cos - is there a link for me to listen to it now?

Sounds like everyone's favourite hairy Greek did us proud though, and that's why we love him (and his magnificent proboscis).
